And really everything of these reason are features of good E-Mail clients (except the +/- voting). So with the right client you get all this out of the box plus much more flexibility (mail is more standardized than web formus so you have much more options like converters, gateways, IMAP, clients,...). So this is all about flexibility -- nearly all web forum software are really jails with no easy alternative access, but with mailing lists you have plenty of alternatives (including your own web server with your forum software into which you can inject all these mails). -- Until the next mail..., Stefan. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
