One possibility would be to move the list to an outside list provider. =
The two I know of off hand are www.onelist.com and www.egroups.com
I belong to lists on each of these services. The egroups list service =
is my favourite. It can provide the list via email, you can view it on =
line, you can get the list emnailed as a daily digest, you can set up =
databases, store files, and run polls. I have no affiliation with this =
site, I just think it is realatively well done.
For what it is worth,
Bill Reid

We've never been able to find a (non-commercial) combined BBS/mailing =
list program. I agree that it would be nice to have it combined but =
without spending a few thousand bucks I havent found any solutions. The =
mailing list has archives available at:

Is it just me or is it silly to have to check both your email and =
the bbs for messages. Additionally, I find it very useful to search =
through old archives, yet the slinkelist messages are not archived and =
tend to have more information. Could the lists be mirrored by any =
chance? This may seem trivial, but it would save some time everyday to =
see all messages in one place. (My vote is for the BBS, but I don't want =
to unsubscribe for fear of missing good posts)
