+   This allows a room to be a  *subscriber* to an external mailing list
+somewhere.  The room's email address should be subscribed to the list, and the
+external listserv should be told "do not send me my own messages."  Any
+messages which originated on Citadel (as opposed to messages which arrived via
+email, such as those from the list) will be sent to the list, with the display
+name of the author kept intact, but the email address changed to the address of
+the room.

+   This is somewhat finicky, which is why it is not officially supported, and

+to use this option you are on your own.

  There's no need to be rigid and stupid about how different rooms are presented
 in a Citadel client.  And we don't enforce things either.  But there's a need
