I agree totally with this!  I too get a lot of email and I have all my
newsgroups fed to me via a email/newsfeed gateway.  Email is the only way.
With all the tools available it is far easier to sort thing where you want
them and to dump the rest!

Lets keep it the way it is.  Google and seach the archive very well.
