It doesn't give the reader the option to choose if he wants this
"enhanced" information or not.
This is the key, i can select just what i want to see and how i want to
see it, down to the font and size of text. And i can have it exactly the
same for all my mailgroups. I'm only in 5 or 6 mailgroups reading the
posts, i would not be in 5 or 6 different forums with different procedures
on how to do things.

If you want to add a picture here go to www.tinypic.com, upoad it, copy
the URL into your post, and everyone can choose if he want's to load and
see it or not. I bet that's faster for everyone, including the poster.

Anyway, i said i wouldn't post any more on this topic. I'm sorry but i for
one won't be using it unless it works via mail the same as yahoo, and even
then i'd prefer yahoo for various reasons. The other mailgroups _won't_
change to a forum, so changing this one would only complicate things
'cause i'd still have other groups on yahoo anyway. I bet it is the same
for most members.
Best thing since sliced bread that mailgroup and people want to change it
for some fancy new nonsense.....
