Yes, the list will continue and will be active (assuming of course 
everyone keeps posting to it :-).

One reason for using the embnet.org address was to keep the list going 
if EMBOSS moved (as it did, from Sanger to HGMP/RFCGR in July 2000).

Sourceforge does provide an alternative for mailing lists - and we do 
use it already for tracking bug and feature requests.

The list archives will be preserved and maintained - after all, we use 
them too!
