Myself, I would not like to get my email on a web page.  The web is way
slower than email, and I can't download all the messages and read at my
liesure like I can with email.

I would rather have a list like Photo-3D has.  (I could implement one here
if the group wants it.)  Photo-3D's main features:

- messages via email
- single or digest messages
- past messages searchable online
- no ad banners
