*lol*

To add my 2 cents:

- making the "you are not subscribed" bounce more verbose/helpful is a 
  good idea
- attaching the rejected message is also a very good idea, for both
  - people who wanted to post to the mailinglist, because they don't 
    have to search their sent folder for the message
  - people whose mail address got abused, because they at least see 
    which mail (including Received: headers) caused the bounce

but:
- having an option to send a mail without being subscribed 
  (titled self-confirmation in some mails) is very problematic.
  Reason: With this option, everybody will _have to_ use reply-to-all 
  instead of list-reply (so that the answer reaches the questioner for 
  sure), causing lots of complaints from regular subscribers receiving 
  mails twice.
  Oh, and the nomail subscription is basically the same thing, just 
  without a nice web interface ;-)


Regards,
