Hi,
Much as I am averse to adding to the bulk of non-technical
JAVA mail, I feel compelled to ask a question:
Is there not some better way to do this than by using MAIL?
Text-based conferencing tools have been around for DECades ;^)
There must be some WEB-frontended conferencing tools, where you can post
questions and answers by mailing to some server, and read the stuff at
will by browsing.
Even existing CHAT tools would serve this purpose, and would eliminate
getting hundreds and hundreds of messages a week needlessly.
I am going to assume something like that exists and begin by looking for it.
Please feel free to join me in my search!
