As far as I can tell from the limited documentation I found on
Google Groups (maybe I was looking in the wrong place?) there
is no way to import our existing decade long mail archives.
That would be a major downside.

Also, using Google Groups would *require* all posters to have
a Google Account - a potential sticking point for some.
