I'm not always subscribed on the list because of the amont of mail  
with no interest (for me) that I receive.
When I'm expecting a reply (like now) I subscribe again to make sure I  
receive it without looking in the web archive frequently.

If the new model is as Matt describes, there is almost no change for  
me. Just instead of subscribing/unsubscribing I would switch mail  
delivery on and off what seams easier.
