I'm sure that the subset of functionality which they all can cope with would be enough to keep most people happy? At worst you'd be able to cancel/remove nntp posts so that new users don't see them, and likewise with message board stuff. Of course, if someone is archiving the mailing list and keeping that visible to the public then it won't help, but it would be a start. I'm not a fan of forums, but I agree that they do have some distinct advantages to them over email. How about a mailing list manager which combines mailing lists, nntp and forums?

It's not quite Vim enough to satisfy the vimmer in me. It ended up being more confusing than making myself use plain old Emacs. Yeah, I tried viper mode.

FYI, everything you said about mailing lists was wrong. They are better than website message boards in every respect. Please correct your opinion. Glad to hear about the listp site.
