For those who didn't know - there's a lot of mail-readers with a lot of powerful features out there... just don't settle for a puny hogmail/yahoo/etc account, it just won't cut it... get POP3 access and be a happy camper... :)

You mean like http://idm.atonal.org/ ? Anyhow - I'm very much against the idea of making the IDM list web-based, as I find the way I'm able to handle mailing lists with my mail program (even though it's Netscape Messenger) much more convenient than web-based solutions... these also have the problem of not being very useful if you prefer offline reading (i.e. if you're not on a flat-rate internet connection)... I would have no problem with an NNTP (read: news) server being set up for the IDM list - this would even provide a good archive at the same time and could be combined with a web interface and an email-based system, which'd pretty much get the best of everything in one go - but who'd do that? -- Kurt B Pruenner Haendelstrasse 17 4020 Linz/AUSTRIA http://www.mp3.com/Leak np: Plastikman - Consume (Consumed) WARP Records http://www.warprecords.com/ BUZZ 1&2 http://www.buzz2.com/ User Friendly http://www.userfriendly.org/ Segfault http://www.segfault.org/ Anime On DVD http://www.animeondvd.com/ Slashdot http://www.slashdot.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
