According to Murray's definition, MLMs include ESPs and email

It may be productive if we distinguish between two-way discussion
lists where participants send mail to the list, and one-way broadcast
lists where only the owner (or their agent) sends mail to the list.

The difference between these is to be large enough that the concepts
do not generalize that well.

This has been highlighted many times. Thanks for reminding the WG.
