No, it'd be relatively simple. However there are a couple of considerations that bear on it: 1. The list address has been stable for a while now, but it went through a few iterations. The address is on loan from dutaint.com (where the lists used to be hosted), and while Syafril was gracious enough to let us keep the list addresses, we can't be guaranteed that they won't change again. 2. Even by putting the list address in the address book, they still have to subscribe first. However, there is certainly merit by having the address in there with list rule compliant templates. To expound upon your idea, if RITLabs were willing, is that in addition to the "Thanks for trying/buying TB" message that is the first e-mail in your in box (part of the distribution), I think it'd be really cool to have a second e-mail with instructions on subscribing to TBUDL. In fact, the REPLY-TO could be pre-set to the list subscribe address, and all they'd have to do is hit reply and send it. MB> Is this idea worth putting on the Wish List?
