Hello John,

did I get it right that Yahoo E-Groups allow receiving *and sending* mails
the way the Equis Listserver does right now (only to be much faster...) ?
No configurations Problems ??? Does this mean that you only need to log on to
the web service if you want to change your preferences ? Does it really work
so well ? Anyone with longer experience in using Yahoo E-Groups ???

Best regards,

Erwin
