I don't think so (IMHO). The advantage with mailing lists is that if
I've missed some days I can easily reread the messages without having a

because the mails are stored in my mail client (only once a connection
for downloading the mails needed).

RSS.
Maillist requires you to receive all of the mails, and you must clear your
mailbox from all these messages; multiple quoting of one message is trouble,
and quoting multiple messages inside one message is absolute hell.

I don't clear my mailbox. ^^ I'm using GoogleMail for my mailing lists and access that using IMAP. Then I've also added filters that automatically sort the messages into the correct folders and presto. Wunderful. Also if I cancel reading on one computer (my mobile computer) and continue reading on my other one (my home computer) I can continue where I left of if I've resynced the first computer with GoogleMail again. For RSS you need either to use an online service that you can access from different computers or you need some additional software that can manage the state of your read entries. That is why I have my RSS feeds only on one computer.

But enough of that. That's my opinion and personal taste.

Sven
