That is a big problem that OpenSUSE people refuse to understand. 1. The mailing-lists run on obsolete software (ezmlm). Mailman is much more featureful and user-friendly. 2. It is odd to run the mailing-lists on software that OpenSUSE does not even include on its distribution! 3. The best way to read many mailing-lists without having to download thousands of emails every day is to use the Gmane NNTP<->Mailing-Lists gateway (http://www.gmane.org). And since Gmane has its own search engine, OpenSUSE wouldn't need to worry in implementing it. But for Gmane to make real sense, a mailing-list subscriber must be able to disable mail delivery. And this NOT possible with ezmlm. Despite all this, OpenSUSE insists on using ezmlm. Why?
