Not. Mailing lists are better suited for long term archival
too(opinion). 

There has been discussion about this before. Newsgroups are not nearly
as friendly to offline usage as mailing lists are. I personally rely on
my local archive of the list to do searching almost as often as I turn
to google. The only other software package I have dealt with recently
that asked you to join a mailing list was VmWare, and it was an
extremely clumsy way of searching for a problem.
