To spell out this idea: any mail that gets sent to announcements@jakarta
is forwarded to general@ with "[ANN]" prepended to it's subject
(possibly stripping any existing [ANN] variants).

Same with [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That's kinda nice. In addition to munging the subject line, it could add
an X-Jakarta-Announce: or X-Jakarta-Advert: header, which people could
filter on.

All assuming that people *want* Jakarta-related adverts and
announcements on general@. I get the impression that some do, a few
don't, and most don't care.
