This.  And Cliff, you perhaps, but not just you. ;-)  It just seemed
like a timely opportunity to remind folks of the limitations.

For anyone who wants to have multiple email addresses involved, consider
this:

- Subscribing is simply tying an email address to the mailing list. A
password is used to manage the subscription.
- For any subscription you can configure delivery options including
setting plain-text-only, getting digest mode, or getting no delivery at all.
- So if you want to receive just one copy of the mailing list, to say,
[email protected], but then be able to post to the list as,
[email protected], do this:

--- Subscribe [email protected], disable delivery.  Still sub'd, still
recognised by the mailing list, but not going to receive any mail from
the list to this address.
--- Subscribe [email protected], as usual.  This will get mailing list
traffic.

Bingo. Done.   Both addresses will be valid to post to the mailing list
_from_ but only one will get email back.


Cheers
Mark.
