Re: Any chance to move your MLs to Google Groups?

Mozilla uses an odd combination of Mailman and Google Groups. So most 
Mozilla lists can be subscribed to via Mailman *or* Google Groups. I 
wasn't around when the decision was made but I believe the driving force
 was to provide a Mailman interface for those who work best with that 
and a web interface for people who liked the newsgroup format. While it doesn't always work perfectly, it seems to work for a lot of people.

And this is a huge feature.

The problem with the Mozilla hybrid, from my Mailman biased perspective, is that the archives are in Google Groups. So when I join a list, I can't download the mbox to search and read the archives effectively given the way I work.
