This is a fantastic idea, and to be honest, I would also like to see such
a feature implemented in v2.1. At the same time, however, this mailing
list is probably not really the place to request a feature. (We seem to
spend a lot of time talking about configuration issues rather than
hardcore programming...)

Feature requests would probably be better off on mailman-developers or as
an actual feature request on the mailman site on Sourceforge. The URL for
feature requests is:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=350103&group_id=103&func=browse

Good luck! Please let us know if you can get this feature working! :)
