Well, it's not the listserver that you are talking about,
but an archive.
But you are correct. There may be software that lets
you do that, and also verifies that you are a list member,
but it is not used by Statalist.
I am no expert, but back doors are often back doors for spammers.
I don't want Statalist to be flooded by messages advising me
to buy stocks, or enhance my bodily performance, or pick up
my lottery millions, or alerting me to hitherto unknown friends
who wish me to help them move their millions out of some country,
despite being unable to explain why they are in a refugee camp
yet have full email access.
More plainly put, the convenience of the digest in
getting only one message a day has this corresponding
disadvantage for you -- and for others -- that replies to the Digest
mess up archive threading.
