+1 for groups.io
They even support muting threads so you don't have to have a client that
does it for you. ;)
It was started by the guy who was also the founder of the company that got
bought out by Yahoo and turned into Yahoo Groups (before Yahoo ran it into
the ground by trying to "improve" it). He seems to be passionate about
email groups still being the best way for groups to collaborate. The
groups.io service is his vision for how email groups can be modernized and
brought into the future without sacrificing compatibility.
The service has been gaining a lot of steam over the last couple years and
I think that says a lot about their potential longevity. However, if
there's ever any doubt, there's a button that allows exporting the entire
groups history in the admin interface.
