Eric is being modest. There are very cool things brewing in public-inbox, like ability to create saved searches and follow threads you're interested in. E.g. you should be able to define something like "whenever someone mentions my favourite file, function name, or term, copy the entire thread into my inbox and continuously update it with new messages." I'm hoping that this will help turn the concept of mailing lists on their head -- instead of subscribing to a list, folks will instead subscribe to closely relevant saved searches across any number of remote and local sources. > > Email is already well-established with a good amount of small > > players, and plain-text is relatively inexpensive.

I view email as merely one way of exchanging RFC2822-formatted messages. There are others and RFC2822 is robust enough to serve as a good standard base that allows both free-form and structured content, including mixed. -K
