[creativecombinations] Mailinglist to blog

Does it make sense to publish the mailing list conversation on a blog?  I am sure for some it might do.  Blogger offers an email address for your blog.  That is quite convenient for people using email for everything.  There are email clients on mobile phones, email is often linked to contact management and calendaring.  Publishing to a blog is another feature.

Now you could "publish" the email address of your blog, send it to your friends or to your co-workers.  And so everybody knowing that address can publish on that blog by sending an email. 

Is there an advantage linking a mailinglist to that address? 

Well for one, the people who can publish can be managed using the mailing list administration.
People already using groups might like that as a functionality and then you don't need to explain how the blog works...
Blog readers might comment, thereby answering to mailing list posts...

Other ideas?
