This is a redesign of that interface for MM 3. Sounds good. Particularly if one has a "Delete (or hide ?) archive" option. :-) >The ability to post from a web page could be part of this if there is >enough interest. Though I don't like web forums many people do. I am sure that a lot of people would like a web forum interface if it were offered as an "option". For many people "Web Mail" is a handy way to check what is in their "home" mailbox when on the road, or at work. The current web access to Mailman archives is very close already to a web forum IMO. All that needs to be added is a "reply" button and a "new post" button. IF that page were offered, as a html page that administrators could alter, it would enable them to make things "prettier".
