Sure thing. I've gmail "starred" this thread and will probably do it
sometime in the next couple of days.

Thanks!  Gmane fixes this very well.
Any plans to post a link to Gamne (or similar) from the main mailing list
page?

Thanks,

Using gmane, you can access any mirrored mailing list (including all
apache mailing lists):
  * using a web-based threaded reader with search
  * using a blog-like, flat interface with search
  * using an NNTP news reader
  * using any one of four variations of an rss feed

You can even search across multiple mailing lists at one time.

As far as I am concerned, this is much more flexible than most forums.
Go to http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.tapestry.user and try it out.
With gmane, might even learn to love mailing lists!

teams follow Hibernate's (and others) lead and choose a simple Forum (phpBB
in the case of Hibernate).  It (like google/yahoo groups) is free, keeps all
the old posts, is automatically topically "threaded", is entirely
searchable, if you're addicted to email you can get posts as emails or, if
you prefer, receive daily digests.  Why would anyone continue to use an
outdated technology like an email list?
