Reflectors are like CW. They've been around almost as long as the Internet. The other term is "list server."

The sender sends an E-Mail, and it goes out to the list. It's up to the individual mail system, and client, to deal with as they wish.

Personally, as someone who actually ran mail systems for a few decades, I find it far easier to use a mail client running on my machine than it is do deal with a mail client running on a machine hundreds of milliseconds away, and wait for my share of that processor to send back an updated display.

... but then again, I've been dealing with list servers since the 90's, and pretty much hate the web-based analogs.

But, as is often said on the Internet, YMMV.

 Yes indeed, Elecraft is a FIRST CLASS company.....Unfortunately with a third world country reflector (just my opinion) Other reflectors use the user friendly IO service. QTH.Net is not user friendly. I hope that they can switch to .IO. Why do I have this opinion? It forces the user to scroll thru many messages that a user may not have an interest in, and hunting to find those of interest. Using the .IO all one needs to do is click on the item and it is there. Just one "geezers" take on the issue.
