Sure, and I mentioned it in the subject but failed to do so in the body
that I wonder about using such a thing for server issues.  So perhaps we
could have a single form with a radio list or drop down where the sure
specifies the topic of the mailing that would choose the recipient:
either the Board or Webteam or Box-Admins.  It might be useful to have
any messages related to the website or other community services to go to
both the webteam and box-admins mailing lists so whoever can handle the
issue best can do so quickly.
