The best I have seen for this is yahoogroups. I am currently working on something to do this but am still in the early development stages. I was looking at using perl to parse the email and insert it into the database which has a PHP front end that allows posts. If I was much of a perl programmer, I would probably have it working by now but alas I have to learn perl first. -- Mark Lane Hard Data Ltd. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Telephone: 01-780-456-9771 FAX: 01-780-456-9772 11060 - 166 Avenue Edmonton, AB, Canada T5X 1Y3 http://www.harddata.com/ --> Ask me about our Affordable Alpha Systems! <--
