And that would be... who?

While we are at it, ObListManagers: who would you recommend for a 
competitor to Yahoo Groups?  The competing service needs to offer all of 
Yahoo's major features:  Web signup, unsubscribing, email archiving, 
options to read email on the web, via digest, or regular mail (and a 
webpage where the user can make or change these options) and options to 
allow or reject attachments.  And, for free (ad supported OK, optional 
payment to have an ad-free list also OK).

(I've been telling people to get away from Hotmail for ages, and Yahoo was 
one of the services I used to recommend.  Who now?)
