I remember this being talked about, at some point, I think on the  
mailman-developers list (although it may have been in private  
conversation I had with someone), but I no longer remember who did it  
or where to find it, unfortunately.

My quick search of the FAQ didn't turn it up.  Barry or one of the  
mailman-developers or mailman-users list members might remember the  
bit of code you're looking for, though.
