[Rhodes22-list] list admin - Google groups

[Robert Skinner]

Yahoo works for several groups that I moderate, and a 
group can be set up to allow attachments inline.  
It does not discriminate between attachment types.  

It does not archive attachments if they are attached 
to a message.  If a member opts for digests of a day's 
worth of messages, he does not see attachments.  They 
are over the side unless amother member has saved 
individual messages and agrees to forward one or more 
old messages to him/her.

Occasionally, Yahoo changes the rules, bot in general, 
it is a good free service.

I'll be interested in other Rhodies' reactions to and 
experiences with Google groups.
