By this ... am I assuming if someone else was to write a maillist
server in Euphoria you would host it????
As you say it's actually a huge job when you start talking about
web interfaces and digests etc ... it would be an interesting
project though.
I'd be interested in being part of a team to produce such a software
package ... anyone (with hopefully some web or email experience)
interested?
