I think you are completely missing the point. In this case [EMAIL PROTECTED]
isn't [EMAIL PROTECTED] at all. It's actually
http://domain/mailman/listinfo/listname
Is that obvious? Not to me. Let's use something that appears to be an
e-mail address as an obscure shortcut for a long web URL?
If it contains at '@' sign, it should refer to an e-mail address.
If it contains 'http:' sign, it should refer to a web address.
(rule #2 obviously overrides rule#1 when the URL contains an '@' ..)
Create should allow a second parameter to define the web url. But the '@'
syntax really should refer to the mail domain.
