I would strongly second this.  I filter the gobs of mail out automagically via procmail - 
it would certainly make it easier to follow the discussions of interest.  Since we're
discussing more mail groups, I have a general question - is there a general rule of thumb
here on when to send mail and when to post to usenet?  The only working rules I can find
so far is that if it involves HTML+, send it to the mail group and that anything of significant
interest should go to both.
