[plug] PLUG list -> RSS feed

[Chris Caston]

Thanks James,

I'm sure that it could be implemented with enough hacking and will power
but it may not be as clean as we may wish.

I must say though that e-mail addresses are already on the web thanks to
PLUG list archives. At the moment I am getting about 2 spams a week and
which seems to be the amount given for e-mail addresses posted on the
web.
