Perhaps an auto-reply could be sent to those who are
not on the list, with a suggestion to join the list,
and a note saying what ways there are to still read the
replies (if joining the list isn't attractive for some
reason).
But in a way I don't like that because every time I get
automatic mails they say stuff I don't care for and/or
already know.
But wait: When people aren't on the list, and they are
not on Usenet, how do they learn of the list/group in
the first place?
At those places, perhaps the equivalent message can be
showed? Then it is a matter of not having too much
other text on that page, so that not the future poster
will be tempted to skip it and remain uninformed.
