I've done that already. I seem to be phrasing my statements rather
badly... "dump into my inbox" was misleading.

What I was complaining about is the sheer volume. What I dislike is
getting 300 KB of Zope mail every day through a dialup line, just so I
can read the 3 or 4 messages I need, and ask/answer the occasional
question. If there was a NG I could just browse the messages I want.

Also I happen to vastly prefer Google's group search to the online
Zope archives which IMHO suffer from a poor search interface.

I think the solution is clear. Provide multiple means of access: list,
NG, maybe a bulletin board. Everybody's happy.
