Sorry, my bad. I was not sure what to search for and thought mailman was
what I wanted.

The reason I was thinking of using something other that gmail was because
of a discusion a few months ago here on this mailing list. That discussion
was about the proper way to respond to messages and there was talk about
the problem of using email services like gmail. I thought there were
programs specifically made for mailing lists like this one.

The reason I don't like gmail is because it is hard to reply to certain
messages and when I want to quote someone I don't know how to show what is
my message and what I am quoting. Also, I am not sure if I can block
certain people from my list, like if some one is trolling the list and I
don't want to see their messages.
