Well, dragging the appicon to the dock or clipboard does work
for me, under slink (wmaker 0.20.3-1)... Here's what doing so 
puts in my ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState:

     {
       Command = " /home/dcoe/Wordperfect/WP8/wpbin/xwp";
       Name = xwp.XWp;
       AutoLaunch = No;
       Forced = No;
       BuggyApplication = No;
       Position = "-1,1";
       DropCommand = " /home/dcoe/Wordperfect/WP8/wpbin/xwp %d";
     }

and in my ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes:

     xwp.XWp = {Icon = "/home/dcoe/GNUstep/.AppInfo/WindowMaker/xwp.XWp.xpm";};

... maybe you can edit the above to match your specifics and try
inserting them manually.

majordomo and mailman are debian packages that do mailing lists well;
there may be others but I haven't used them.  Majordomo is much
older and probably more solid, and is written in perl; mailman is
more modern, web-based, and written in python.  I switched from
majordomo to mailman because i'm more comfortable with python
than perl, but that's just me; you could try them both and make
your own decision (and, as I said, there may be others as well).
