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 How did you get the Gmail account? For what I understand it is still unavailable. I tried to obtain an account from already one month ago to open a mail account in my Linux box., an old Cyrix 233 running FC 3. My intention is to obtain enough experience in linux with that old box and migrate my personal win98 box to Linux after that. I have not enough room in the hd of my personal box for a dual installation. If you have some information about how to get a Gmail account I will greatly appreciate it.
