I would not make use of it.
I forget to go and look at the latest posts and I don't read by thread, 
I read by date.
(That's just a work habit, read the latest first and delete all the 
others :-)

Is it two way? I.E. Do posts on the newsgroup make it back to the email 
list?
Does it munge email address's?
