I can provide such a forum - one of the reason if the donation of Derek
Parnell that keeps my hosting going - but I don't think anyone will really
use it unless this mailing list is deprecated.
My guess above is based on several attempts to create a Euphoria forum
that never had succeeded.
Shall we move from this unthreaded list to a full-featured forum?

I don't like fora, but this is me. My (free) mail client put all
messages from this list in a convenient threaded chronological form.
More, it's spam free! I don't think we need more than this, and if we
need to place votes, would it be too difficult to put this feature in
the used Eu code?

OK, I'll byte.
How do you get the messages from the Forum to be sent to you via email? I
actually thought that would be an advantage available from an alternate location
that is NOT currently available.

Mike, I get them from a Topica account. It was the only way some time
ago (5+ years?) and when I left the list I didn't unsubscribe myself,
but set it to NoMail. Almost like in Pegasus Mail (you said you use
Pmail) list. Me too.
I think all you need is send a message to EUforum-
subscribe at topica.com (watch for breaking line) from your current
address (I'd suggest a throw-away address) and subscribe to an
account. I place my posts to EUforum at topica.com and all came out
safe'n'sound, my with a slight delay.
There's more information at http://www.rapideuphoria.com/listserv.htm
below mid-page.
Best,
Euler
