You can do the same in the mail archives, e.g. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2006-April/thread.html That's not a real search but older topics usually get outdated quite fast as wine improves... gets developed :) >Also, I wouldn't be getting 100+ irrelevant messages/day to my (size >restricted) inbox that I have to sift through, while waiting for my answer. The wine-users list has just 200 mails for the whole month so far. >A web forum will e-mail me when someone responds to MY question. > >THAT is why a web forum would be great!!! Of course, a forum can have its merits, but for the occasional search the mail archives (accessed with google) serve quite similar a purpose. bye Fabi _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
