Hi Julien,

Not a stupid question t all, and the so called "FM" will probably not 
help you, at least not with Mailman 2:).
Mailman 3 on the other hand could introduce something like that. I am
going to test an alpha version soon for work because we might need some of
it's new features. And to be honest, while mailman 2 has great features,
it also sometimes look like a giant hack :)

I am not sure how it is feasible though. Might be worth looking into it
since this method seems to work for forums quite alright. You never get to
"fix" the copies the users get though...

I'll keep you posted !
