I have no access to Usenet News and in general prefer
the opt-in feature of mailing lists. But I have provided mail-to-news
gateways in the past because the underlying NetNews system is, in my
opinion, better suited to tracking messages and subject threads.
For 9fans, I think the present approach is quite reasonable and would
not be improved by the obvious change. There may well be some other
change that would improve matters, but I don't know what that is
likely to be.
