If replying to a message creates a new thread, and you can't group messages by thread, you are using a seriously broken email reader. > 4.

Email is much more versatile than forums, let alone whatever the latest forum-board-of-the-day web interface is. This is especially true for those of us that subscribe to many lists and do any kind of filtering. Also, if anyone wants a forum-like view, use http://groups.google.com/group/cython-users . In any case, no, we're not moving away from email. - Robert _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
