  Probably not, unless there is a way to mirror it with the mailing
list and newsgroup. (I suspect that there isn't currently a way to do
this due to the differences between the two mediums.)

  As far as replying goes, you might want to check out the newsgroup
version of the DML, at least that way all the posts are sorted by
topic. (http://www.dakota-truck.net/newsgroup.html) Using the
newsgroup can be a joy or a pain, depending on your news reader.
Many of them are cumbersome to use; I have tried a number of fancy
GUI based ones, but still haven't found anything to pull me away
from the command line based "tin". Its all really a matter of
personal taste though. If you try the newsgroup and aren't happy
with it, you may want to try a few different news clients before
giving up on it altogether.
