I'm well aware of maling lists, forums and newsgroups etc.. I use NNTP 
instead of the mailing list for what are normally obvious reasons to most, 
not the least of which is not getting a mass of unrelated to anything I care 
about from a mailing list. A mailing list can be great for a newbie just 
trying to pull as much info as they can about as many subjects as they can, 
but you can't beat NNTP for its conciseness and ablity to easly pick 
responsed to a post almost instantly. Mailinig lists can quickly become 
irritating. Add to that the management capabilities and no gui waste as with 
forums, and you have what I still consder the best listing tool around. As 
long as the list vs newsgroup processes to work, it's the best of all worlds 
due to the many displays possible in a group reader.

That's fine for you, but realize that what you like isn't necessarly 
anyonre/everyone else's cup of tea.

No, not for me. I have more to do than scan mailing lists looking for my 
post responses when I can have them pointed out to me automatically and all 
grouped together. When I have a question, I DO NOT CARE to see other 
answers; I might if  I were a newbie and had lots of time avalable, but I 
don't.

This is only my opinion, but some of the advice you gave leaves a little to 
be desired.

As  I said in my prevous posting, you can underline, overline, 
strike-thru,double-strike-thru, use colors with them and so on in Writer at 
the program's location I  gave.

Also note how clunky your post looks below because I only read posts in 
Plain Text and nothing else. I respectfully advise that you should post and 
e-mail also in Plain Text unless there is some compelling reason not to. 
It's even a good idea to have anything that's 8-bit dropped to the floor 
just to prevent any type of unintended code execution in the body of an 
e-mail.
   With Plain Text, you don't get the Unicode or Mime problems that go along 
with 8-bit e-mails.
