The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Adam Bernstein" <address@concealed>]

I share Dave's sentiments, and would like to put in my vote for adding
this feature (and not just through LDAP) at some point.  Users generally
assume it, and I hate having to disappoint them.  :)

What I've been telling people is they need to subscribe their alternate
address to all their lists and then set its subscription mode to "no_mail".
This is not ideal.  ...But it brings up an easy possible solution, since
we could just add a button on the User Preferences page that would take
an alternate address and subscribe it to each of the user's lists in the
no_mail mode, eh?  Taking care of unsubscriptions would be messy, but not
all that critical, perhaps.  I'll try a hack and report back.
