Well the issue here is that I don't think there is away around the
duplicate email stuff from watching the mail logs.

We'll see if I can overcome the following:

1) Password sync'ing (should be trivial)
2) Archives via email (may be trivial, may not)
3) Duplicate emails (may not be possible)

There are a lot of good things about Mailman, but #3 is a big hurdle
that won't be tollerated. After all, not everyone uses a UNIX system to
read mail. There are a large number of people in the world on AOL,
Hotmail, Yahoo, and MSN.

Ciao,
