If you miss the way Yahoo displayed messages and find it annoying to have
to go back and select "List by Date" each time, try using this link...
 
http://www.smartgroups.com/message/listbydate.cfm?GID=1423922
 
If you use this link as your entry into the group, it will put you right
into the list by date message display.  The only difference is that
Smartgroups displays the newest on top instead of adding them to the
bottom like Yahoo.  There doesn't appear to be a way to change the sort
on that.
 
If you don't have cookies enabled (i.e. you have to log in each time you
visit)then the above link probably won't work.
 
Also, for those that like the way Smartgroups keeps all discussions
threaded, note that if you change the subject line ever so slightly, that
message will not become part of the current thread but will become a new
thread.
