I likely won't get around to writing one for egroups, though as you say
this would be cool. Probably better to lobby them into providing it
themselves....? Surely someone on this list knows someone who knows
someone.... at egroups.com? (if not, why not? ;-)
Either talk them into making RSS available or better, talk them
into using XHTML so we can make our own with XSLT...
