I feel exactly the same about this. I can make the newsgroups available as MBOX files in SourceForge downloads section. All mail clients can (that I know of) import MBOX files. So searching should then be possible. Alternatively (and something I have been wanting to do for ages) is write some CGI app that can do full text search on the news groups, and maybe incorporate it into the WebNews interface. The big benefit of NNTP (news groups) is that as soon as any new person subscribes to a newsgroup, they have access to all previous posts. Mailing Lists do not, and needs some searchable archive (which SourceForge and Gmane are currently failing to provide - even though they advertise that service). The downside of Mailing Lists (something I only found out now), is that mailing lists are easy targets for spammers. I keep getting notifications of spam messages which are blocked and I manually need to act on them and discard them (so they don't get distributed to all of you). Very annoying! So currently, mailing lists are causing me more work, not less as I thought it would. :-( Regards, - Graeme - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
