There's a difference between mailing lists and newsletters. The former are
like this with many people participating and sending mail *to* the list.
This is what MLM was designed for. The latter are generally sent *from* some
newsletter address and are either BCCed to the group, or sent to each person
individually. The algorithm wasn't designed to handle this case (though
arguably it should).
