<div dir="ltr">Can you describe what you like about mailing lists? To me, the lack of proper formatting, lack of control over links, and duplication of content are minuses. IMO, online forums like Discourse do a much better job of keeping topics organized and accessible (plus, you can choose to have notifications sent via email if that's your preferred medium).

</span>FWIW, I really like mailing lists (although the default reply-to going to the sender and not the list may lead to quite a few replies being accidentally sent off-list).
