Sorry, being obtuse.

I run several majordomo mailing lists here at work.  Sometimes I get
on mailing lists that don't have archives.  So I set up one myself,
using something like (but I'm not in this case) nmh-workers-archive.
The nmh-workers-archive e-mail address is subscribed to the
nmh-workers mailing list.  Then the nmh-workers list sends to
nmh-workers-archive, which is sent to whoever is subscribed to that,
in this case me, kamath, as well as nmh-workers-archive-archive, which
is an archive program.  I can then send e-mail to
nmh-workers-archive-request to return the archive of
nmh-workers-archive-archive, which is really an archive of
nmh-workers.

My hack would be to change the approval process of the
nmh-workers-archive mailing list to only allow people on nmh-workers
to subscribe to it. :-)
