   I thought that this was the purpose of those filter actions,
"Distribute to {Book|group}". 

   Together with the actions "{Add|Remove} from {address book|Group}"
one can establish a mailing list with automated adding and removing
recipients by themselves. 

   Using the Distribution filter, one can redirect incoming messages
for the mailing list right to the mailing list distribution. Maybe
the filter's trigger should be changed to the address of the
distribution list in the TO: line.

  Maybe. I just tried this out last Saturday for the first time and I
not yet very firm in it.
