While we are on the subject of mail and OG, if somebody wants to take
over and fix mail2og (http://drupal.org/project/mail2og) I'd gladly
hand it over. I've got to much going on right now to maintain it.
Mail2Og takes arbitrary to addresses and maps them to drupal group
titles. It needs some love.

But what would be really cool, though require some custom module

way to make G.D.O operate more like Google Groups. People could
choose to
use the web site and/or email - ala listserv style. Of course that
would
require pumping emails through a script handler, which can be done
in PHP.
It would also be a rather sweet contrib module to allow other sites
to do a
similar type system.
Great idea!
We started in 2005 an released it in 2006. http://drupal.org/project/og2list
Everybody wants it but nobody wants to fund it.

Right now, g.d.o is useless to me, because the notifications

regressed.
(All we really need is good titling and threaded support, for my
purposes.
it doesn't need to *respond* to email, I'm perfectly ok with
clicking a link
to reply).

So if this list is moved to g.d.o and we want it to still be a
