Gee Mark, you saved me a message. I was having that thought too. I use
the mail list all the time but rarely fire up the webpage. I would like a
way to see the summary from the mail list.

Web pages are for surfing and mail lists are for gaining and disseminating
information. Never the twain shall meet.

I typically dont have a web browser fired up when doing email.
