If ActiveX dropped off the face of the planet tomorrow, I probably wouldn t really shed a tear for its passing. But if my horoscope didn t arrive in my Inbox, heads would roll.
Mailing lists are more popular today than they ever have been and it s no real surprise why.
Combine easy access to relevant information on nearly any subject with the magic word free and you have a winner. Everybody seems to be running a mailing list nowadays, to keep visitors up to date with happenings on a certain site, to let them know about updated versions of software, and so on. Users and list owners alike love mailing lists because they benefit both. The advantage to the user is obvious. But don t think list owners are left holding the bag.
