This can be done in Mailman 2.1.x with a custom handler. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9> for information on custom handlers. Your handler would need to maintain persistent data about tasks and their statuses, and you might need to develop some kind of application, perhaps even a shell script with 'grep', 'sort', etc. to process the Subject: headers from the archive .mbox or something using your task data, to produce your reports. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
