I think the OpenSolaris forums do this with their setup.  Messages seem
to show up on both their forums and their mailing lists.  However they
are doing it seems fairly effective.  As long as the forums enforce
some formatting guidelines to ensure that posts look "correct" when
they show up on the mailing list, and we're not seeing a lot of funky
forum usernames, this could possibly work.

Probably not a real need however. :)
