[postgis-users] HTML Mails

[Obe, Regina DND\MIS]

Very neat.  I've been looking for an rss feed for mapserver.  Although it
appears you only posted this to postgis-users when it would have been more
useful for mapserver group?

Ok, I've been staying out of this one, but I need to jump in here.  

If you want to read this mailing list as a newsgroup, just use GMANE:

http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.mapserver.user

They gateway the list to NNTP.

If you want it online in a web-log version, they have that to.

If you want to search the archives without using UMN's horrible list 
manager (no offense guys), you can do that.

Here is an RSS feed from GMANE:

http://rss.gmane.org/messages/excerpts/gmane.comp.gis.mapserver.user

This is true for a huge number of mailing lists.  Just go to "Reading" and 
search for gmane.comp.gis.

Now, it is very possible that this list does not play nice with people 
posting from GMANE: I have seen that before.  And if that is in fact true, 
fixing it would be a welcome improvement.  

However, there's no reason to change the basic nature of this excellent 
resource that's working very well.
