This is a good idea; I wish that Euphoria had a *real* mail-list like it 
used to.  I admit that I like the EUforum web forum, though.

At work I use the web interface; at home I use Thunderbird/GMail.  But 
when Topica fails then things get out of sync.  Does anyone still use 
the Topica web interface?  It would be good to have a mailserver for 
email use and still use the web interface of EUforum.

Even though Juergen has a problem with web forums (and I have a problem 
with some of them) I still think they are a good thing.  And UBoard 
needs the traffic
