I like mailing lists *much* better than newsgroups. I like the info to be
dropped at my door -- not have to go out and get it.
That being said, there's website called gmane.org that serves as a newsgroup
interface for email lists. From the gmane entry for your mailing list, you
can read mail, send mail, and reply.
So I can read my LyX-Users email with Kmail, while you're newgrouping it from
gmane.
To do this, someone would need to link gmane with [EMAIL PROTECTED]
