The problem I have with this approach is the fact that I depend on users to do this. Over the years I've noticed that the target audience for mailing lists can basically be divided into two groups: tech-inclined subscribers and non-tech friendly folks. The lists I am creating are unfortunately for the second group. This is my target audience and I would benefit from making it as simple as I can for them. I will keep your suggestion in mind and try it in case I am not able to implement another solution.
