Ok, so I subscribed the "normal" way, and I'll just periodically purge the mails to avoid waiting for 857,000 emails to load over dialup. I don't like it though, and it really strikes me as incredibly obvious that there's just no excuse for the silliness of no header interoperability between the mailing list and the usenet group. Apparently for the sake of someone's ego being tickled by having "bofh" in their custom headers. Flippin' weenie...
