Okay, I'll start looking into it. In a simple form I could probably create a user id with the Yahoo group as the email address and then just subscribe it to all of the forums. Not sure what the emails look like, though, since I haven't subscribed myself to any of the forums. I'll start with that and we'll go from there.

Well, after a number of hours of messing with it, I can now have all posts get CC'd to the PBEM. The emails will include links back to the posted message for ease of replying.

Ed,
It's currently set to only send to my personal email. Please let me know if you're ready for me to switch it over to point at the PBEM instead.
