Possible? Yes. Supported? No. <smile>. I can see wanting to do this  
but the current scripts don't make this easy. Sorry.

This is also difficult but I'll look into improving this since I agree  
that a lot of mailing lists are not currently being used.

I'm not aware of such a thing but I've heard lots of good stuff about  
Google analytics.

I'll defer to Drew on this. Drew?
