Is there any relation between this discussion and the subject "Re:
[DNG] Dng Digest, Vol 13, Issue 7" ?
The subject of a mail is one of the methods for sorting, either
automatically or by eye. Please don't confuse things with false and/or
meaningless subjects.

Methinks you might be confusing things just a trifle:
- mailman (and majordomo, and sympa, and listserve....) are
MAILING LIST
MANAGERS - they're what keeps track of all the people on a list, and
distributes mail to them - you don't use them to read mail (except
that
some provide web-based access to archives)
- you READ mailing list, and SEND to them, from a basic email client -
like gmail, or Thunderbird, or Outlook, or Mac's "Mail" program -
all of
which include features for sorting and filtering mail, and to a lesser
or greater degree automatically displaying message threads and/or
putting list mail into folders
If you're not happy with the gmail web interface, I'd suggest playing
with different clients that can support "IMAP" access to your mailbox

Sorry, my bad. I was not sure what to search for and thought mailman
was what I wanted.
The reason I was thinking of using something other that gmail was
because of a discusion a few months ago here on this mailing
list. That discussion was about the proper way to respond to messages
and there was talk about the problem of using email services like
gmail. I thought there were programs specifically made for mailing
lists like this one.
The reason I don't like gmail is because it is hard to reply to
certain messages and when I want to quote someone I don't know how to
show what is my message and what I am quoting. Also, I am not sure if
I can block certain people from my list, like if some one is trolling
the list and I don't want to see their messages.
