HI, Martin I used to use Notes to follow multiple listservs. A while back I started to use Gmail for my listserv activity and would never go back to Notes for this. Gmail, with it's threading of emails is the perfect way, imho, to read listservs if you want to use email. If you deleted a thread and then later find something interesting in a new email to the thread you can simply go to the trash and restore the entire thread with one click instead of searching through for every message. Putting tags on messages from listservs make them stand-out from one another.
If you subscribe to multiple listservs, move 1 to a gmail account and try it. I don't think you'll ever go back to using Notes to read a listserv thread.
