I guess that mail lists are just what people are used to, not what is better.
news are good when you have a broadband permanent access. When you have only a 33.6 modem, mail is much better/cheaper
Even with broadband, having the forums loose on unneeded HTML and gimmicks would be a win.
The NNTP side is plaintext - you can connect a newsreader (and I know some mail clients - Thunderbird, Evolution, and I think KMail) to forums.novell.com and see how the forums look that way.
The NNTP access actually works very well (I'm not surprised, but it's worth saying) - the one thing I find a little unnerving is lack of email address and a sender name. Given the amount of traffic, the structure is not bad as such, but certainly not easily mapped on to the ML structure. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (28.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
