But that'll get really ugly. The only real solution I see is reflecting
the mailing lists into newsgroups and set up the "forum interface" as
another view to the newsserver.

Otherwise you'll lose references, encoding information and whatever. And
that'll make it really hard for the people using the mailing list, as
stuff will spread all over their mailreader.
