I'm wondering if anyone has ever set up their mailman archives so that people can reply to list messages directly from the web page. I know it would be trivial to add a mailto link to the list address on the archive html pages, but I'm thinking more like some sort of script that would not use mailto -- instead it would provide a text edit box to the user, and when they clicked "send" a well-formed mail would be sent to the list address, with the appropriate subject line, correct headers, etc.

Since the archives are only accessible via the email address & password, it seems like security should be ok (or at least not any worse than how email is accepted in general).

I think something like this might be really good for subscribers who wish to turn off their email and simply monitor the archives - this way they'd have a good way to respond on-list to messages. The "reply to list" function could be switched off if the archived message is more than x-days old.

Any ideas or advice on setting something like this up? Thanks.
