[Editors] integrating Mailman lists and Mail Chimp

[Andrew Whitacre]

A hacky but effective way to do that is to send a MailChimp email to yourself, click reply or forward, and go through and remove the unsubscribe link, Dear <Firstname> merge tag, etc., and then send the edited version to your Mailman list.

(Just remember that that messes up your chances for getting good open/click stats.)
