Currently all bionet groups can be received or posted to by e-mail. I
get the sense that may not always be the case, but for now anyone could
get all the posts via e-mail.  I used it before our site became a full
internet site and we had a newreader running and the e-mail connection
worked fine. So a a bionet newsgroup will not eliminate anyone.
