I would like to see this type of setup used. I use my cell phone for about 90% of my internet access during the day when I'm on the road. I've found in the past that forums usually have better search tools and they also will not fill up my email address. I find many things in these forums which are great to be able to save and search on but would like to get rid of the posts from my emails. I don't want to not have access to them because when I'm board I can start to read through threads that interest me. I just don't want to have to download the emails to do that.
Best Regards
Mike Gould

forum here -- http://forum.sipfoundry.org/index.php -- is
bidirectionally linked with sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org
And mailing list integration looks pretty straightforward and well supported: http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php/Mailing_List_Manager
Feasible? Desirable?
