Fine with me, but I would like to see the mailing reflector live on.
I find it convenient to have this information segregated from our
news feed since I need to forward this information to others in my group and
I find managing a mailbox easier than the newsfeed.  
I also think that there are some subscribers who do not have
access to the news.  Should there be a vote on this issue?

I subscribe to the british cars mailing list, and this issue has
come up several times.  They complain that the signal to noise ratio
would go up considerably in a news group; therefore, it is a dead issue.
I'm not sure that this would be a problem for a technical topic like
this one, but this point should be considered.
