If what they have can only be accessed by a web browser then what
they have is in my opinion more correctly known as "a web forum".

"Can I participate in this group by email alone?"
Their most likely answer: "no, what we have is what we have"
I would certainly not try to come up with examples of other mailing
lists, especially not ones like debian-user, because they most liekly
won't know what you are referring to. They probably do know what email
is, though.
Thanks,
