Okay Johnathon, I'll give it a try. You're a lot more helpful than the google support pages.

I would start with a type of "email list" An email list allows users to post from the web or by email. You can still fully add, edit, remove or ban users via the web interface, but users can also subscribe, reply, post and unsubscribe through both the web interface and email. I think that's what you're after, isn't it? On 3 April 2014 17:52, David Mellor <mrd.mellor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Jonathan, Many thanks for this. Information on the google sites about web versus email lists is very contradictory. Can anyone tell me, if I setup a web forum type list will members still be able to receive, send and reply to messages in the same way that they can with this group?

Google Groups all the way. Google has far and away the most accessible web interfaces for all its products, groups included. References: <https://support.google.com/a/answer/2821355?hl=en#h4_google_groups> Groups administrator guide to accessibility. <https://support.google.com/groups/answer/2525100> Using Google Groups with Assistive Technologies. Google Groups makes good use of keyboard navigation, landmarks and ARIA roles to quickly navigate. Keyboard shortcuts: When you navigate to the Home screen, you are presented with a prompt explaining that you can open the keyboard shortcuts help screen using the question mark. Pressing the question mark displays a dialog with a table of keyboard shortcuts arranged in two columns. Press Control + Alt + Down Arrow to navigate through all the keyboard shortcuts. Some useful keyboard shortcuts are: . Press o to open a topic, expand, or collapse a post. . Press c to start a new topic. . Press a to reply to a post. The dialog can be closed by typing question mark again, or by pressing the escape key. Other reasons: 1: Yahoo groups are pretty much dead in the water - Yahoo Groups Japan has already closed and there are serious rumblings about the state and reliability of the Yahoo Groups Neo which hasn't long been rolled out. 2: Freelists is, as you say, rather limited.
