I think the solution, in my humble, yet informed opinion (I am the webmaster for a public university), is that this group really needs to be reinvented as a modern web-based forum, which would easily include all the features that have been mentioned: easy to follow threads, messages organized by categories, and a built-in sophisticated (and usable) search engine. There is a popular open source product that can do all of this-- phpBB (www.phpbb.com). All one would need to do is register a domain name, select a web hosting company, and install and configure this software on it. Fairly easy, but importing the archived collective wisdom of this group would probably take a fair amount of work, though. Just an idea. -Steve
