Instead of posting the entire content on the announcement in the mail, it
would be preferable to have just a small one liner description and a url to
each of the announcement on the Linux-India.org site. That way users can
choose to read what is relevant to one's interest.

Somehow we need to automate the list(s) as much as possible. Can the list
robot be programmed to scan predetermined subject 'keywords' ....like
SiS6215, kppp,  ;-) ....and redirect mail to the appropriate list(s). The
keywords can be made available on linux-india webpage.

Stay cool !
