As a side comment, currently, mailing lists on Yahoo that have unrestricted
access to the archives can be accessed via RSS.  I have subscribed to the
unrestricted Yahoo mailing lists that are about Dean on my Drupal site.
Take a look at
http://ahynes1.homeip.net:8180/drupal/index.php?q=import/bundle/8
as an example.

Granted, it doesn't do everything we want with a mailing list incorporated
in Drupal, but it is another available tool, especially useful for dealing
with folks over on Yahoo.

As a side question, probably one for Moshe:  Is there any way to get Drupal
to login to Yahoo with a predefined userid to be able to get to RSS feeds
for restricted mailing list archives?  Feel free to contact me back channel
on this.

The main decision that needs to be made about this module is what types of
lists should be offered. An announce-type list can be done entirely within
Drupal and not require extra mailing list software. If we want full mailing
lists where anyone can email to post then we need to look at full mailing
list packages to make a Drupal frontend for.

Let the list know what you think sites will want and maybe move the debate
over to the wiki or hackers list since this isn't strictly an implementation
decision.
