I will consider this, but my reasons for not doing so (until convinced o/w) are that I want people to think about what they're doing. We have on several occasions had people ask us to take down flag-day messages (which thankfully were only sent to the internal list) because they contained proprietary information, and the senders did not realize that we publish heads-up and flag-day messages externally. And sometimes we want to send messages just to the internal lists. With 600+ users, people make mistakes and I don't want to make that easier for them; I want them to think about what they're doing. Whether or not my methodology for achieving that goal is ideal is something I'm will to discuss. -- John http://blogs.sun.com/jbeck
