I am one that favors news groups over mailing list. From a users standpoint, I find the much easier to manage then mailing lists.

Just a quick comment, probably a bit irrelevant. I'm using Gnus within Emacs to read my email as well as browsing Usenet. My impression is that you really have the best of everything. Unless I pay special attention, I do not even really notice if I'm reading a mailing list or a newsgroup. I sort most mailing lists I'm subscribed to into separate mailgroups. (There are only two differences I know, from a user standpoint. First is that I can copy or move an email into a folder, but I can only copy a news article -- as moving implies permanent destruction of the original, which the NNTP backend forbids. Second is that I often edit an email message on first reading -- like when I do not like the formatting, or missing full stops at end of sentences -- while I may not so edit news articles.) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
