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?)
