What's the difference as you're using Thunderbird/Seamonkey for mail? What do you use for NNTP?
No, I mean that IMO the best group communication method would be nntp, not email, because it does not require subscribing. You can not get full mail boxes, and you can go back in history and see posts written years ago, way before you "subscribe".
Only if someone keeps archive. NNTP was not really designed for it - news servers keep limited amount of recent articles and usually expunge articles that expire. So at the end it depends on good will of server maintainer whether you will find posts written years ago.
