I am on some Yahoogroups lists. I usually read them as "individual
mails", as Y!G calls it, but when I am travelling, it is impossible to
follow any thread by GMX's webmail when some 200 messages from several
different lists hit the same inbox every day. I then have a least the
possibility to go into an internet cafe, log into Y!G and read up and
participate on each or any of the lists.

However, I think the difference between a webboard and a mailing list
is being discussed away. Those are mailing lists that also offer web
access. Different animal.
