There also appears to be a way to redirect an old mailing list: http://n2.nabble.com/help/Answer.jtp?id=46 For users, there is a function to "Invite subscribers" but it appears you have to request activation of this feature (so they can verify you're not just a spammer). Keep in mind that I have used none of these features so I can't vouch for them personally :) Also: free Nabble is ad-supported; you will sometimes see ads in a message thread when you are using the web forum (unless you use Adblock of course). Not a big deal but worth mentioning. Glenn
