I was thinking about this the other day. Would it be possible to make a
secure mailing list?

So lets say that the list had a GPG key, and all the users had GPG
keys. Now if the user, when sending an e-mail to the list, used the
list's key and encrypted the message with that key. Then, when the list
manager got the message, it decrypted it, checked the signature, and
then reencrypted it to all the users on the list. (I'm assuming
everyone sends their public key as part of the mailing list sign up)

Would that be a secure list?
