But if you really want a > web-based interface, why not just subscribe to this list from gmail? Funny you should have say that. I recently acquired a Google Mail account. It allows me to store 1 GB of prior, threaded "conversations" on any subject. In essence, it lets me build a mini-archive of the Fedora Core List and of every other list that I'm on. Sure, housecleaning becomes a chore (figuring out what conversations you want to keep, backing them up to your own CD, etc., etc., etc.). But it does make archived e-mail easier to manage all around. And best of all, it's free of charge, totally independent of your ISP, you can set your e-mail addresses to all your correspondents once and for all, and it has its own POP and SMTP servers--no "forwarding" required. Why *not* use it? -- Temlakos <temlakos@xxxxxxxxx>
