I only belong to two groups: this one and sbsolutions on yahoo groups. To me they "behave" the same - I have an email folder for each and messages are routed there. I interact with them in the same way - simply sending e-mail messages.
However, the yahoo group also has a web-site with all of the messages in it that I've occasionally used to search (although their search is terrible). I don't think external search engines capture them as you need to login in order to see the posts. The only "problem" is that the messages appear in posted order and not sorted by conversation. Even better would be the option to have either order. Well, that's my vote. Web based forums with the options to receive/post through e-mail. Limited to members only. With a "good" search utility. Now surely as a bunch on computer geeks we could make this happen... -- Colin Alfke Calgary, Alberta Canada "Just because something isn't broken doesn't mean that you can't fix it" Stu Pickles >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [SNIP] > >I disagree that its very common to have what I posted. >But I'm not sure you understood me. >Let's say I'm subscribed to both the forum and its >corresponding email list. >If I send a message to the email list only, will it appear on >the forum site?
