Hmmmmm...
Ok... Can anyone point me in the direction of the right RFC's (or whatever
they're called). Getting time to write list server software is one thing -
finding time to dig up the right bits of documentation is another!

So far no one else has expressed any interest, but if there is anyone out
there with a use for a list server for their ST - email me letting me know
any particular features you would want to see.
Got a rough and ready prototype running that sits in the Oasis toolbox,
grabs email, "digests" it and sends it out. To avoid any compatibility
problems with future releases of Oasis, it does not update Oasis mail boxes
- but uses it's own in a different directory, will work with just Nos.
Still to do:
        decide what list server functions to implement;
        add some sort of mail reader to allow filtering/moderation;
        add in PgP and UUencode support;
        stick a user friendly front end on the thing.
If no one else is interested in using it - may well skip adding the user
friendly bit!

So if think you may find use for it:
1. give me a rough idea of what you would want to use it for;
2. tell me what functions you would like it to have;
3. type of format for output eg. digest, single posts, etc.;
4. any pet hates or likes...
Speak now, as once it's running it may be a while before I find time to add
additional features.
