I've noticed too that the annoumcement list stuff gets CCd to other lists.
How about having all content sent to that list be automatically CCd to
general lists with [ANN]?
This way if one wants only announcements, he can subscribe to that list,
while other users get the ANN topics automatically.
This could be done also with an [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, and [ADV] as
Jeff suggests.
Another result of this is having separate mail history for these lists.
