Why did you setup a Google mirror in the first place?
Google group is superior, and it makes my/our life easier.
Subscription takes 10 seconds. Same for cancellation. No password to
remember, etc, etc..

The way it's setup currently - no way to get each email from the
mirror -, it's useless, but for the Web Interface, and the archive,
and the easy of each user message, and the rating, .. :)

So, I'm forced to subscribe to 4 list :
 - subscribe (email+password) to the 2 rubyforge lists just to get the emails,
 - subscribe to the Google groups to get a decent Web Interface and
access to the archive.

Less is more. It's obvious, isn't it?
