Not very, no. And as I say, my client can ignore it.

(Actually, my client can also select a "default reply type" for any 
list, there's just no UI to actually set it. I really ought to sort 
that one out, along with the automatic CC per-recipient.)

Loosely:
1) Setup an anonymous-access IMAP server.
2) Create a publically shared folder for the list.
3) Subscribe an address to it which automagically gets delivered 
direct to the folder.

It's a doddle with Cyrus IMAP. Slightly more complex with anything 
else.

I have way too many ideas about this to have the time to code them. 
Primarily, I think the "web archive" ought to be pulling from IMAP, 
and capable of posting to the list somewhat like a web-forum.

Wish I had the time to do these things. :-)
