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.
