+2 to David and M. Fioretti. I think that (some of us) are losing track of 
the original question: finding a new mailing list provider.

Yes, that doesn't mean it's not a good time to consider migrating to a 
different technology/platform, just because we can. But nobody has said 
"email lists for IPG is broken."

Email lets me not just save locally, but file some by topic. Email lists 
on MY account (granted, on PAIR servers, except what I download), which I 
"own" (pay for use of). Etc. And we already all have and are using 
email software that we like.
