My experience with Yahoo groups has been great. You have 3 options (set by
each individual):
1) Individual email receiving and sending. When you send it is automatically
posted on the web site and sent to all those receiving email.
2) Digest mode where you receive a single daily digest of all messages but
no attachments.
3) Web mode where you read and post on the site.

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
