After reading this thread I decided to look into another solution for
our Studioware group because we also use google groups. I wasn't
aware of this problem before and only set it up because it was easier
than dealing with mailman administration.

I came across this site:

http://librelist.com

I've just sent off an email to start a list, and I guess I'll see how
it goes. Mind you, our membership is much smaller than Vim's. Which
brings me to another point - even though I created the google group I
don't see any kind of admin panel anywhere, to eg get a list of
subscribers. I found a couple of articles online, but the settings
that they point to don't seem to exist for me.
