Additional drawback
2.   The filling up of email with lots and lots of posts is not really
desirable.  If mailed as a digest, then there is not the hassle, but
sorting out 'important' emails mixed up with from those that are of no
interest is actually a very dicey arrangement from a filtering point
of view.   From the present newsgroup I only need download the
necessary articles based on their headers, as a lot are of no
interest, or are repititious.

If a digest is not an option then I would hope that access to the list
would still be available through the news groups.
