[Zope] Could we migrate Zope email to a news group?

[Alexander Staubo]

[I accidentally sent this directly to the poster first. If I could make
a suggestion: Maybe the list admin could have the list output a correct
Reply-To field. That would be good.]

I suggest a dual news/list solution, which has been successfully (at
least according to Mr. Udell) deployed by Byte and others.

By this I mean a new server which replicates to the mailing list, and a
mailing list that replicates to the news server.

It works, and gives you pretty much the best of both worlds.
