.org forums instead of mailing list?

[eseo at thecanyons.com (Erik Seo - The Canyons Resort)]

The main problem for me is that my work's mailserver tends to start sending
back .org emails after a while and I always have to go back to the .org site
and reset my mail settings.

The other thing is that I don't have to keep the massive archive of
emails....I can just go to the forum and search for something.....

I agree about the BS posts thing, but it's so easy to miss something on
email's....

Any way that posts can be put online, searchable (posted the same time that
the email was sent) as well as the emails to all the list members?

Heh, great point Jeff about the work thing!
