Well, being that ianap, I don't really know how much work it would be -
while I'm not suggesting it would be 'trivial' at all, it just seems to
me like not so much for someone well versed in the necessary tools -
'seems' being the operative word there... ;)

Like I said, it was just an idea, the thought being it is better to
spend a bit more 'up-front', building an easy to use and comprehensive
support 'System', to reduce the overhead of managing the support process
(including lists) for the long run...

Anyway, at a minimum, I would dearly love to see simple list specific
pages for subscribing/unsubscribing. Mailman generates these out of the
box, so its not like this should be a lot of work - unless mlmmj doesn't
provide such pages? If not, then I think it would be worth it to make
the move to mailman just for that.
