I think the best solution is one where both forum users and email users receive 
the same information...that's what the Yahoo Groups model does...and there are
the benefits of being able to post files for download, etc.

I'm not sure if Google Groups has similar structure.

I am still searching for something that will let me port the majordomo messages 
to the forum and vice versa....so I don't have the luxuary that the combo model 
afford.
