	How is what you are doing different from sending notifies on ticket 
creation? Looks to me like you can save the mailing list part.

	Anyway, I'm stuck with lack of developer documentation. Specifically, 
I'm now in need of an object/function that returns the members of a 
group, because I'd like to avoid querying the database directly. Any 
pointers much appreciated.
