Is there a mailing list equivalent to comp.lang.lisp ???  That is, can
I get this newsgroup via email?

Thanks.

No.  There was some discussion last year about gatewaying c.l.l to
···········@mcc.com, but there were some complaints about the fact that
commercial postings occasionally appear on c.l.l, and they wouldn't be
appropriate for an Internet mailing list.  Even ignoring issues of
appropriate use, some prominent readers of ···········@mcc.com didn't want
to be subjected to the volume that c.l.l produces (···········@mcc.com was
originally the mailing list on which CL was designed, but now the traffic
is about a message a week).
