Apple Mail has not been copying the mailing list, so excuse the reposts if you
got one.

One thing that makes me agree with this is the antiquated format of the digest

I would like to see this type of setup used. I use my cell phone for about
90% of my internet access during the day when I'm on the road. I've found
in the past that forums usually have better search tools and they also will
not fill up my email address. I find many things in these forums which

That would be cool. Wonder if there's something like that out there already.
I don't know if BUI-based subscription is supported, but there are
reported solutions. Take a look at gmane.org (mail<->Usenet news groups) and
see if that might work.
