This is more to do with how USENET is run rather than NNTP as a protocol.

Fundamentally there is very little difference between NNTP group and mailing list except the former having no spam filter and moderation.

It would be great if all mailing lists provided at least read-only access to archives via NNTP. I miss gmane as my one stop shop for all mailing lists.

I used gmane.

Realistically, I can't use NNTP for things such as inline graphics e.g. screenshots.
