List to Forum?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Me too. Hence 4000 unread messages now in my daily backup. :)

The web interface is ok, but you have to jump out of it if you want to post.
Plus, with a forum you can subscribe to notifications. If you ask a question, you can set it so that you don't miss an answer someone provides maybe two years later.
