It appears that the gateway into Usenet for this mailing list has been broken, which is why it doesn't have any activity showing up. Since there has been little noise raised about the broken gateway, it seems fairly obvious that there is little need for the dedicated group. Perhaps someone could fix the gateway, but set it up one-way-only and feed any traffic into "net.mail". Since it is devoted mainly to ARPA-style RFC 822 message-related discussions (but more generally than the "header-people" list, which is for technical details), anybody with input to send to it would have to have ARPA access anyway, so there is no need for a two-way gateway. This would let Usenetters read the traffic if there is any interest, but minimize the impact by deleting the dedicated group.
