hello everyone,

with apologies for the off topic nature of this;

i have a situation where one of my non-majordomo mail list managers has 
a problem (for the foreseeable duration) where it has to allow people to 
write posts in html, but the digest cannot handle such posts, resulting 
in a html mess.
Now, I currently have access to an unused majordomo list circuit which I 
know has the html stripper patch successfully working on it.
I would like to feed all posts sent to my other list into the majordomo 
one, thereby stripping the html, then 'invisibly' / 'semi-invisibly' 
send the resulting output to the other lists' subscribers, whether they 
be 'normal' or 'digest' subscribers.
Do you get what I mean? So far, this appears impossible without creating 
a mail loop. I've tried various forwarding / subscription 'tricks' but 
to no avail.

In case you're wondering, there are 2 or 3 reasons why I need to stay 
'centrally' with the faulty list, rather than just move everything 
(temporarily) over to the majordomo list.

Any wisdom appreciated !

(i also have access to Mailman, not that that seems to be of help in 
this scenario)

lee
