Can you put something on Site.NotifyList like:

(:include GrpA.NotifyList:)
(:include GrpB.NotifyList:)

and then give each group control over what emails are listed on those
pages?  If it would work, it would be quite useful.  Let me know if it
works.  It might be useful...

This would be nice also, and easier of course, but require a core change...

Cheers,
