I use gmail account for this list and my list
+ is not segmented
+ there is search feature

Imo gmail makes mailing list somewhat equivalent to forums.

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outdated technology like an email list?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,
