A browser based system would IMO be a bad thing for me and I would likely
have to stop participating if this list did move :-(
I use Eudora 5.1 for lists and I would be unhappy if Google got in
the way. Yahoo
groups work OK with ordinary email apps.
But then gmail is a total disaster and essentially doesn't work with
old mail clients.
If Google puts a lot of JavaScript into the list messages it will
really make a mess.
Will all messages be delivered as HTML - a bad idea.
The SuperMacs list has already begun migration. I have signed up
for the new list and selected the email option. The emails I am
receiving look like nice text messages without extraneous garbage.
I use Eudora 4.3 and have all the HTML and image display options
turned off. HTML has no place in email in my universe. I have not
seen any of the junk in the Google Groups messages that would
indicate the presence of web aspects trying to invade email.
Some folks have had some trouble with the subscription process
(mainly in Netscape), so actually subscribing to the new list will
probably require a newer machine. I managed with Mozilla 1.3 under
OS 9.1 without hiccoughs.
