everything is possible -- but you should ask whether the people you'd
like to be on the newsgroup would follow, and perhaps if it isn't just
a matter of modifying email client/usage of email work habits.
For me, it's mostly a matter of permanently sorting/scoring on a few
key people (r-core and 7 others) and temporarily sorting/scoring on
interesting threads/topics, and that seems to take care of 95% of the
information I'm looking for (i.e. orders the mail to read, when I
want/need/etc to read), the rest ending up in an
end-of-the-day/week/month mailbox/folder to peruse later. But your
needs might be different.
best,
