Yes, that's only a question of placement in the forum. Let's take the international Mandriva forum as example. You have several categories like Announcements, Community Chat, etc. You create a new category "Mailing List Gateway" where you have the various ML parts like in the test forum of tux99. Only those messages a user posts in there will be sent to the MLs, it's easy to put a describing sticky on top which explains what's it all about. I do not see the problems Olivier mentioned. For one there can not be top posting in the forum display. Same with HTML - there is no choice in the forum if you disable usage of BBCode in those ML sections. The messages will be sent in plain text to the ML. -- wobo
