Shannon, if you were to use a threaded mail client, then you would see
each mail thread (posts with common subject line, or chained by the
In-Reply-To: header)
to reading the mail
list, and is how I usually look at it.

We've had this discussion before. Different people prefer to get their
information in different ways. That is why we have both email lists
and a forum.
This topic is a lot like religion or politics - you can have a lot of talk,
but in the end, everybody is likely to stick with what they
Thank you for your replies. Mail list, Fourm, IRC all forms of communication
but in different ways that don't interact with each other.

Depending on the forum software being used it may be possible to
integrate the mailing list and forum. The SheetCam forum is set up like
this so any posts made on the mailing list also appear on the forum and
vice-versa. It isn't perfect and can occasionally be confusing but it
does mostly
Why do you choose the email list over using a community forum? I really
appreciate the mail list being available to communicate with you but, it's
kinda antiquated. This is 2013 the buliten board system has been replaced with
newer better technologies. We have the internet and community forums.
Forums require users to visit them and participate. An email list
arrives in my inbox. That's both an advantage and a disadvantage. It
keeps the topics in front of me on a daily basis and keeps me involved
but it does clutter my inbox. Despite the best of intentions, I
generally won't visit
Forums are ok.. but a mail list puts everything in front of you. You
don't have to go looking for it.I have about 10 email addresses.
An email address for each list - so the messages self sort into my
inboxes. No need to go to a website, log in and look for messages.
I'm on some forums

Yes, look at the In-Reply-To: header line (your email program might
not display it by default, but it's there). Some mail readers use this
line to sort messages into threads (again, not necessarily by
