I think this idea is *NOT* as good as you might think, because I for
instance read all ATM offline, and I think I'm not the only one who does so.
A newsgroup would cause that I have to do all online, and this will be very
fast expensive, according to the traffic this mailinglist sometimes has.

As long as there is no way to connect the mailinglist *and* the newsgroup
I think this will not be the best solution.
