Its not about hardware or devices, its more about being able  to keep track of 
a thread and who has said what, what a reply was in reference to, that sort 
of thing, especially in those longer threads, which of course we are 
experiencing here now :)

These mailing lists are *exactly* like usenet newsgroups, the only thing 
different is the delivery/reception method.

When more than a few percentage of users are accessing mail using handhelds, 
maybe things will change, but i kinda doubt it
