Free write access wasn't my goal, but just making it easier to see what is 
going on and getting more discussion up. Naturally if everything is just 
discussion, nothing gets done...

SF provides such services. Every attacment gets a link, like following:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/attachment.php?list_name=dxr3-devel&message_id=20060126193246.GC4008%40home&counter=1

I'm not here to push SF, but just trying to be careful to not take too big
piece to eat :)
