Would it not be possible for someone to write a piece of
listserv/majordomo-type software utilising PGP? Namely -
1) List members send mail encrypted to list's public key
2) List software decrypts mail
3) List software recrypts mail to individual public keys of list members
4) List software sends out recrypted mail.

Just a thought.
