- mapleoin 15y agoI've always found mailman's web interface a lot easier to read than Google Groups. e.g.: https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2012-January/thread.html https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2012-January/thr... AFAIK Google Groups don't even support threads
- freehunter 15y agoI grew up with computers in the 80s that didn't have Internet connectivity. I didn't get Internet access at home until 2005. Mailing lists confuse the hell out of me.
- lobster_johnson 15y agoThat's interesting, considering that mailing lists (like news/Usenet) were ideal for offline use, having been designed back in the day when Internet often had to be dialed up at specific times to exchange mail and news asynchronously (remember UUCP?). You can read and write submissions offline and submit them later.
