i find that if one can use regular email clients ... like eudora ... it makes the looking and responding to messages much simpler ... rather than having to use a WEB interface
but, that's just my opinion
once, a number of years ago .... i ran an intro stat course by email ... called INTROSTAT (not functional anymore ... ) ... where i did the lead presentation and discussions of the topics ... then, others who were subscribed (about 300 at one point) would chime in ...
it clearly offered some challenges and, now and then i would post a graph (etc) to a web url ... but, for the most part ... it was all done via email
you can do a lot by simple email
