[Nfb-web] Question about Lists and Duplicate Messages

[Gary Wunder]

I think it is a good idea. Anyone added to any list gets subscribed to your 
announcements list. If this is what you are proposing, I'm for it.

>>Hi:

>>I have a question for all of you.  Please let me know what you think --  
>>and if you want to poll your list(s) feel free.

>>As you know I send out messages of general interest on a fairly regular

>>other stuff of interest to the NFB and its members, and/or other 
>>blindness-related information.  I send these messages out by picking the

>>This is annoying to some, and a growing problem.  There isn't an easy, or

>>object being subscribed to a hidden list, and receiving mail from it?

>>Thanks for your input.
