If I could offer a suggestion, it is just that all of the other email lists I belong to attach a list name (like [PONCHO]) at the start of each email's subject line, allowing me to automatically sort these messages into a dedicated folder. This list doesn't do that, and as a result, I have to pick the Mopar messages out of my Junk Mail folder, since I don't have everybody's email address in my Contacts list.
If there could be something like that in the next generation of this list, it would be great, as far as I am concerned.
I'm curious whether anybody else would prefer that. thanks! Jim Ozolins '64 Signet 200

The one you like is called vBulletin, which is about $150 for a license IIRC. You need to run those applications on the server, which isn't too difficult. The question is whether or not the 62to65 webserver can handle that kind of traffic, which I assume it can. Another option is freeware forum software, phpBB being the big one I've got experience with. They all require some maintenance, but are ok. The real question is whether people want a forum or an email list. I personally do not want to visit a forum, and find that email is much simpler. But that's just me.

I honestly don't know so that's why I'm putting this out there. Here are 2 examples of places I visit quite often. Moparchat's software HAS to be some semi significant $ outlay and setup time...but I would one would be willing to pony up some $. The MTFCA (Model T Ford Club of America) is very simple, searchable, and has to be cheap.
