We should remember that the underlying reason for a bibliography is to allow
readers to find the original text.  So email should probably be formatted as
a Personal Communication.  For newsgroup or other conferencing messages, I
would recommend that you create your own reference type, with the following
fields

Field Name       (Generic Field Name)
Author           (Author)
Year             (Year)
Subject          (Title)
Moderator        (Secondary Author) -- only if appropriate
Newsgroup        (Secondary Title)
System           (Publisher) -- use "Internet", "CompuServe", "WELL", etc.
Date             (Date) -- vital!
Message ID       (Number or ISBN field)

That should do it.

Yours,
