Sounds like this plugin would be what you’re after:

Unless I’m misunderstanding the request…

Kafkaesqui – thanks for your swift response. On your advice I have just now installed and got working the redirectify plugin. However, this plugin simply redirects the browser to another URL rather than loading content inplace of the post. Any other thoughts much appreciated.
See how I have achieved this with MamboServer here:

OK…I just tried creating a template file called elist.php based on archives.php in the WP 2.0 default theme. My code looks like this:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Elist
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”content” class=”widecolumn”>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>
<h2>ECSA E-list</h2>
<?php include (‘https://listserver.flinders.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ecsa’); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
I created a new page, gave it a title and simply set its template to E-list.
What I get, however, is a busted junky result:
http://www.ecsa.edu.au/ethicaltheory/?page_id=14
The error message is:
Warning: main(): SSL: fatal protocol error in https://listserver.flinders.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ecsa on line
I feel your pain, I’ve been looking for something like this for dynamic content and never found anything. I come from CPGNuke and e107 each with had a wrapper type plugin that allow me to do this easy.
If you have static content things like StaticJack, EZStatic, PageLinksTo, SafeInlcudes, etc… work fine. But for anything that has some dynamic element you’re hosed after the first page.

I have solved this problem thanks to the superlative online citizen Ronald Heft (http://cavemonkey50.com/aboutme/). I simply used an i-frame in my post. On closer investigation, Mambo Server uses i-frames as well. In my post (and with only the WP native post editing tools on – editormonkey messes with code as far as I can see) I used this code:
<iframe width="100%" scrolling="no" height="1500" frameborder="0" src="https://listserver.flinders.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ecsa"> </iframe>
iframes suck. theyre depreciated, and are easily misued

the above stolen from Kafkaesqui.

Thanks whooami. I’m just new to this, but I understand that although I-frames won’t exist in future versions of HTML, it exists in the current specs, so that means it’s safe to use?
Any suggestions on how to achieve the task I have without I-frames?
Cheers,

no I know.. Im just muttering really. It safe to use, sure. I just dont like em 🙁
you can make that error go away by not using the ssl connection, drop the http(s), just use http://
(the url still works)
<?php
$blah = file_get_contents("http://listserver.flinders.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ecsa");
echo $blah;
?>
works fine for me here, the php include should as well.
