I wouldn' say that it acts like a mailing list. A mailing list simply
re-sends the same message as it is, maybe adding a footer, while Malone
basically constructs a new email, using the same message id as the
received email. Some content is added, and some content is removed. And
the headers aren't preserved like in a mailing list.
