I can't see that setting up gmail and filtering is going to be any *easier* than using a news client with a news server (like gmane). But it *may* be more practical, if it gives you a better searching ability. For what it's worth, I always found usenet the most practical for the kind of thing this mailing list does. News clients tended to be geared towards handling masses of mail (proper threading, auto purging, ignoring, watching, etc), most mail clients are awful at it, and awful at quoting. And usenet doesn't require you to expose an email address to abuse. Websites are a pain, you can manage the odd one, but having to separately log into several different websites to keep abreast of a number of things is a major chore. And you have to deal with designers who like to continuously re-engineer the service. As far as I'm concerned, they're only of use for someone who wants to solve a particular problem, and not be part of any on-going participation. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
