You seem to be new to the Internet. I suggest you take it slow, and do
your research instead of posting reflexively on merits of technology
you're not familiar with.

Hey, it was your suggestion, you do it. Just download the list manager,
and hack it. It's easy, right? And don't forget automatic cathegorization, 
plaintext and multipart support, and a search engine, and anti-spam measures, 
and authentication, and to make my browser spawn my favourite editor,
instead of pasting into a form, and server-side filtering, and distributed 
archives, 
and push, while you're at it. And don't forget to build a community about 
your project, in order to support it, and to issue security fixes for
the hundreds of bugs you'll find in a new project of such complexity. 
Gosh, email is sure retarded, having all these features a forum doesn't 
have, and you'll find are absolutely trivial to implement. Get back to us 
when you're done, will you?

That's not a bug, that's a feature. And you can't edit my local inbox, and
it won't go away when the machine with the list archives dies (trust me,
eventually they all do).
