Hi Rich,
Even though the mailing list is a good medium, I feel that a newsgroup
would be an even better one. ANYONE can get usernet access, and you
don't even need an e-mail address. Just surf on into
http://www.talkway.com/usenet/.
As for saving your files, I am not sure
about your computer (I don't have a Mac), but in Netscape, you move your
cursor over a message, hit the right mouse button, and file a message to
a mailbox. Then, you use it like regular mail
