[Mailman-Users] Looking for Yahoo style email list

2004-09-06 Thread Paul
I am looking for something that can be both an email list and a BBS style web page like Yahoo Groups. I want an email list that if the user chooses can read and post to the list from a web page like the Yahoo Groups. Can Mailman be adapted? Does an open source solution exist? Thanks Paul ---
