One can manage via the Web, though I used the email admin commands
(with a password). Compared to Google/Yahoo it's still old school,
but the tweakability is as detailed as any list manager I've ever
used (and I've used them all at one time or another).

Nada, zippo. But you can feed email into just about anything you
want these days. The smarts would be in those newer, aware apps.
One big potential downside with Yahoo is they are about to be
bought by Microsoft. And that could be a nasty downside.
And the downside to Google is it still needs a few more admin
dials & knobs to be the killer list server. But Googles unlimited
storage for most apps is really appealing. And I would imagine
Google will over time link it to Picassa, Blogger (RSS) & the like.

I'll contact her directly as it appears she has the admin job.
My deepest sympathies Sarah :)
