This has been on my mind for awhile, but I've got plenty of other stuff
(*cough* bugs *cough*) on my mind.  The CVS server has the disk space and has
DNS set up so that it can receive email.  If anybody wants to find a perl
mail-archive script and doesn't mind signing a shell usage agreement, I'll
give that someone access to the CVS server to set things up. I vaguely
recall an archive script being mentioned in the majordomo docs, but...

... which doesn't even really matter since mass mailers like to crawl web-pages
for email addresses.  The email addresses have to be somehow mangled.
