Is that instead of A, B, and C, or in addition to? If "instead of", how would they learn about your policy *before* subscribing? I like D as an enhancement to C, but believe we should also have some way for a gmane-type of mirror/archive to query the list server *prior* to subscribing and learn what the policy is first, via an automated system. Is there interest in making this into an RFC? jc
