Something that retains the freedom to do as you please with the content without letting anyone proprietarise it (e.g. CC-BY-SA) may be more appropriate. Agreed that there must be clear overall licence for content posted to the list, though, and not individual licences on individual mail messages (which may even be technically meaningless, since as a recipient I have to agree to a licence before I receive the material, not after the material is already with me -- retroactive conditions like "By reading this mail you agree to feed me pizza" don't work in any communications setup).
