While a long-time user, I never liked getting all of the messages in

digest form has the additional problem of how to reply to a post.
Most digests are now in MIME format, so replying to a post is easy with
a modern mail client, while preserving threading.
However using digests isn't going to reduce the amount of mail you get.
It's really an obsolete method with little to recommend it any more.
Just subscribe normally and use filters. With IMAP you don't even need
to download the messages you aren't interested in.
Then, I discovered Gmane a few years back.I was bothered somewhat by
using a third party interface and, it seemed, that not 100% of the
posts ever showed up, depending on who posted where. It has worked
well for me, but I had to set up the news program, typically knode,
which also took a fair bit of time. Nothing ever seemed satisfactory.
This morning I discovered Fedora's own web interface. I never even
knew it existed!!! I think it could be the best solution yet...
although sometimes it seems slow.
It didn't exist until fairly recently, and I find it clunky compared to
mail. YMMV of course.
What have you found to be he easiest, most convenient, etc. method
of
accessing the message boards?
What message boards? If you mean the mailing lists, then I use a mail
client with IMAP (Evolution in my case).
