Someone mentioned a yahoo group. I am a member of a few and they send messages (e-mails, like this list), but at the same time allow to participate in them like in a Forum (on a web site, following threads, allowing photo albums etc.).
I already voted for the list, but possibly that option can be investigated, as well. On the flip side, let's not overestimate the bandwidth required for including the original text. All these messages were in the teens of kB, very tiny compared to the current internet speeds and sizes.

That would eliminate all the repeated information and the very long message strings that cause so much trouble and band width cost for Stu. Sometimes I like to include all or part of the message to which I am responding, so others will know the context of my email. I find that I am frequently not responding to the last message on a given topic. But, hey, I’m old and forget to delete all the unwanted part of the string. My problem with a forum is that I need to find the time to go look at it and see what is being discussed. Messages from the list, OTOH, are in my inbox and actually give me something to look forward to when I open my email. Rick Brass
