The actions under discussion are:

1) emailing material to all subscribers on the list, including other
archivers, and
2) putting the material in our own list archives, which are websites

We already know from existing case law that hosting material on your
website and linking to the material on another website both constitute
"manufactur[ing], import[ing], offer[ing] to the public, provid[ing],
or otherwise traffic[king]". So that covers 2. If anything, 1 (which
involves actually sending the material out to people) is more likely
to fall under this definition than merely hosting the material on a
website is.
