Re: Next steps for ezmlm-idx

Some ideas from:
http://freegroups.net/faq/groups-comparison-matrix.html

1. add a "leader" capability, so the unsubscribe notice can optionally appear 
at the beginning of each group message, instead of at the end.  Also improve 
the "trailer" so it appears on ALL messages, regardless of whether they are 
text or complex HTML.
2. add Web-based email msg moderation for moderators and posters (it should 
work both by web and email response), especially in light of ISPs like Yahoo 
throwing away the confirmation messages!
3. add the capability for Auto-send files (attachments to the stock email 
messages) at certain events, such as at subscribe or unsubscribe
4. add option to scan posted email messages with spam detector (Spamassassin), 
so the server doesn't send highly-likely spam to subscribers/ISPs and gain a 
bad reputation
