you automate handling of posts from digest users?
Also, I suspect that having the list's archive on a Web page is one
thing that makes us very vulnerable to automated email address
harvesters. Could be archive be password protected? It doesn't have
to be a secret password, in fact, you could probably put it right out
in the open on the page with the link to the archive, just as long as
it kept out harvesters.
