Same thing. I like it in e-mail format. I can quick download and read
it. Not even have to be connected while I go through my weekend mails. I
like it this way!

And if you've really got to find specific topics but don't want to get
scads of messages every day, there is always the alt-beam archive which now
has over a year's worth (10,279 items actually) of the list stored in a
searchable form. Just go off to http://www.egroups.com/list/alt-beam to
find it. And, if you join the eGroups thingy you can have it send you a
daily digest -- either of only the topic headers or of full text.


Just a thought...

p.s. of course, UBB is pretty good/popular software.
