I like the mailing list best.  I can read it off line.  Most of the time I read them 
on my handheld and a forum would not let me do that.  I can understand some of the 
issues with a mailing list.  I use filters/rules to move the incoming mail to a 
folder.  A private or public folder could help get around the mail box size issue.  
But then I have a lot of WUG mails saved and that only takes 600K.  How small is your 
inbox?  

This mailing list does have a good search feature.  
http://www.mail-archive.com/whatsup_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/  The link is at the 
bottom of every email.  You can search and view by thread.  The only thing you can't 
do is to not send to the list.  But then if you wanted you could use the archive for 
all of your viewing.  Signup for the daily digest and set a rule to delete it when it 
comes in.  That way you are still on the list so you can still email to it.  This 
would not take any inbox space.

It would be nice to have more advanced search features to help narrow down the 
returned items.  Such as date range, from, subject, "and", "not", "or".  But it is 
better then most lists I'm on.

If every decides that they don't want a mail list but a forum instead, please have a 
way to get every post emailed.  

Lets not change the product just to get a feature we already have.  

Just my 2 cents.
