I believe we are just going to all "resubscribe" to the list itself. All
inbound mail I guess could be "Held" again like last weekend, and a single
message could be sent out to the "old" list, informing everyone of the
changes. After that message is sent out, the "old list" of addy's is
destroyed or archived and not to be touched again.

Then everyone just starts resubscribing, and after a given amount of time, the
"Held" letters are allowed to flow into the "New List".

-K (thoughts???)
