I'd suggest that anybody who wants to read it this way, install INN and mail2news. Subscribed a custom address to the list and gateway it in. I've been doing it for almost 15 years for most lists (only a couple of years for the Cube list). I don't have any intention of supporting it for the whole community - I don't have the time or energy to do so - but it's really not that difficult to do yourself as long as you're the only one using it. And you'll learn a lot about mail2news, news2mail, and INN in the process. We're running *Unix*. [To expand: the mailing list will only accept mail from subscribed address, so a gateway for more than one address isn't generally useful. What a PITA.] -- Todd
