How about having all mail to the list going through a program to check if there are large similarities to old messages in the list archive. If so, the message would be sent back, together with links to possibly similar messages. The user could post his message anyways, but it would require more effort. That's in contrast to the current scheme, where doing the archive search takes additional effort. ... just a thought. ;-) meillo
