Another quarter-vote here - though the file-services and threading may  
leave something to be desired in Yahoo! Groups, the email delivery  
(and the filtering and management that allows) is big for me.  Not to  
mention that having the archives dispersed across many people's  
workstations - though perhaps not 'green' from a storage standpoint,  
does mean that archives can be found 10 or 15 years hence if Yahoo!  
goes under...
