Then I have all I need to read. A newsgroup would be an additional source so I'd have to download my mail *and* download the newsgroup. Yeah, I'm lazy, I have to keep my reputation as a programmer! ;-)) Furthermore, mailinglists are restricted to subscribers, spammers can be excluded easily. Newsgroups are open for everyone... However, I might try the newsgroup, but I would like an email-gateway sending me all the new postings to the group. Suggestions?
