I figured it was probably possible.  I have only taken a reasonably 
quick look at PHP Markdown Extra, and the basic documentation doesn't 
mention this.  Thanks for the info.

I was wondering why the list seemed to be such a recent creation.

Has anyone considered moving the list from mailman to Google Groups? 
They aren't perfect, but there is (unsurprisingly) very good search 
functionality.  I feel a little silly suggesting this as a brand new 
list member, but it seemed relevant to the discussion...

Cheers,
