1) You can forward it (possibly quoted) to the list.
   This of course assumes that you are on the accept list yourself.
   It has the advantage that list members get aware that the
   original sender is not on the list; when replying, they
   hopefully do not refer to topics recently discussed on the list
   (of which the sender of the forwarded message probably has no
   idea), nor disclose internal information (depending on the
   nature of your list).

2) Have a look at http://www.ha-schneider.de/software/smartlist/
   The stuff you are looking for is right at the top.
