I have been trying to figure out some way to do the following;  Every
new/rmgroup message is mailed to user usenet so that replies get sent to
an alias for a process which does the actual newgroup or rmgroup.  That
way I just read my mail and when I see a valid control message I just press
'r' to reply with the text included.  Bogus messages just get a 'd' and
don't get processed.  I don't know when I will get a chance to do this but
any suggestions in the mean time are welcome.
