Wow - 98 against, 2 for. Everyone seems perfectly satisfied with managing their own archives and email pile, via their own email programs. I'm surprised. Industry, and commercial orgs - DO NOT go the reflector mail-based route. I refuse to load my email provider down with the endless Elecraft messages that come thru by the hour. I'd rather a formum server do this, and catalog the messages, and structure all the hundreds of topic types.
Microsoft's OUTLOOK EXPRESS is one of the most spam & virus ridden places on one's PC. I have never used, nor would I think of using it on my PC's. Gmail, IMHO, is somewhat of a joke - for a modern email system. Cumbersome is a good descriptor, for gmail. I use Elecraft REFLECTOR - as it time manages all the user messages that get posted. So I then pour down thru them all, in chronological order - trying to make sense out of who posted what about what topic. That is what they make forum BB's for! I've got a lot of time, retired, but I'm not going to spend my time - sorting and saving and cataloging Elecraft member emails - why would I need to do that? There are very well tuned software forum tools out there - that do that for us. I found out the the forum software I referenced, is a free, ans supported product, free for the asking. In the referenced bateau2.com forum, when they changed over to their current system - it took like 1 or 2 weeks for all the posters and customers to roll over. It just happened. I'm quite sure people and customers - don't patronize and buy Elecraft electronic products, because of the REFLECTOR tool! I suspect, even Bill Gates would turn over in his ............ on this topic. IMHO KILL THIS THREAD, IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.
