Mailing lists do this.
- rektide 6y agoWhat kind of mailing list are you talking about? I don't think mailing lists do this. If someone comes by in 20 years to your "birdwatching" mailing list, for example, all they can do is sign up or ask for someone to copy them messages. Do you mean an online web system for sharing emails? If so, it's not really a mailing list. It's just an ad-hoc webserver system with poor standards for finding or doing anything. These systems are a joke imo, but to their credit, few web folks have come along to help them turn their loose jumbles of text into anything well structured & responsible. Even still, almost every one of these mailing lists would be well served by having an RSS feed of the activity, which is fairly direct to do. Not sure what you are talking about, would like some clarity, but feels like a non-answer to me.
