David, In a mailing list emails are broadcast to email addresses where they are downloaded from local ISP servers (or if you have web-email you read them from a webserver). In a newsgroup the messages are posted at a server where you go to read them. Web-email has blurred that technical distinction somewhat from the user's perspective.
