I think that if you posted all mail to the newsgroup and all newsgroup to 
the mail list,  we'd have an endless loop. You'd get the mail, and 
automatically put it in the newsgroup, which would then automatically send 
it to the mailing list which would put it again in the newsgroup.
The good thing about a newsgroup over the maillling list is you can see 
what people answer to other people so you don't have to keep reasking the 
same questions over and over.
Also people who don't want it don't have to look at it or worry about 
unsubscribing.

I'm sending this message to both the trial cerious.tifflist newsgroup
(news://news.cerious.com/cerious.tifflist) and to the TIFF mailing list.

Since peopole like both ideas (newsgroup and mailing list), if you know
of a mailing list-to-news gateway, let me know. I would be more than
happy to automatically post mailing list messages here for posterity and
browsing.

If desired, and if software is available to do so, I could also send
newsgroup postings to the mailing list. Perhaps this would be the best
of both worlds. (Or perhaps it would drive people mad). Let me know what
you all think!
