+* Parsing of the subscription notice to stash away details like what
+   address you're subscribed to the list under (and automatically send
+   mail to the list using that address, when you send mail inside the list
+   group), what address to mail to unsubscribe, and the list info message
+   if available.  Hitting the "get FAQ" command inside a mailing list
+   group should display that stashed copy of the info message.

+* Some help in coming up with good split rules for mailing lists, as
+   automated as possible.  Splitting on To and Cc is almost always not
+   what I want, since it can misfile messages and since if I'm cc'd on
+   list mail I want to get both copies, one in my personal mailbox and one
+   in the list mailbox.  I know other people handle it other ways, but I
+   prefer it that way.  Accordingly, some way to semi-automatically
+   generate split rules based on Sender, Mailing-List, Return-Path,
+   X-Loop, and all of the other random headers that often work would be
+   very cool.
