A few questions about this:-

If people unsubscribe from the list and receive unicode list digest messages
via unicode-relay@onelist.com will they still be able to post directly to
the
unicode list - or will they then have to post messages and replies via
unicode-relay?

If there is a "no-mail" option on the Unicode list people could remain
subscribed
(and able to post messages) but receive their digests via unicode-relay.
Allowing non-subscribers to post to the list could result in a flood of
SPAM.

If replies can posted back to the unicode list via unicode-relay, will the
senders
name be lost and all messages posted that way end up with a header
"From: unicode-relay@onelist.com"?
