I suspect I'm not getting these because I read my email in a text only
email application and because I'm on a mac? Or is this when you read mail
using the web interface (I've never been pleased with Yahoo groups web
interface for reading mail). Could Mozilla's web client which enables you
to block pop-up ads prevent this?

I don't know any of these answers, but thought I would throw these out to
see what the general thought is on making yahoo groups more palatable for
the group.

As an aside, I do run a list server, It runs from a work server (with
permission), and could open it up for this group. However, that has some
inherent dangers (if I leave this job, all stuff would have to come down,
which let's face it is not what most people want). However, the offer is
on the table if we can't work out the Yahoo Groups.
