So I wanted to read up about putting multiple portlets/pages in a single 
Tapestry portlet .war and went happily to the online mailing list archives and 
what do I find:

The archives are segmented:
+ first by month (oh and only 3 months are online)
+ then by a "page" of "n" postings in a month.
+ there's no search feature.

This is why I deplore mailing lists.  They are so 1983.  Why don't all teams 
follow Hibernate's (and others) lead and choose a simple Forum (phpBB in the 
case of Hibernate).  It (like google/yahoo groups) is free, keeps all the old 
posts, is automatically topically "threaded", is entirely searchable, if you're 
addicted to email you can get posts as emails or, if you prefer, receive daily 
digests.  Why would anyone continue to use an outdated technology like an email 
list?

Thanks, 

Ezra Epstein
