Forums have better read-tracking than mutt?  Hell, delete the e-mails you've
read (or don't want to read), that way you'll never need to re-read an old,
unwanted post.

You subscribe to a mailing list, don't like it, so you decide that you'd
like to send spam to it.  Huh?

A web forum doesn't help with that.  Assuming you actually move around,
you're probably not connected to the 'net all the time, in which case, a web
forum is useless for you.

Archives, like, say, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-au/?
