Thank you for the insight.

I saw in gmane.discuss something about
authorization but don't know what to do.

The autoauthorizer requires an email-reply as follows

 -- quote
  
  You have sent a message to be posted on the
  gmane.emacs.help newsgroup.
  
  Before the message is posted on the newsgroup, you have
  to confirm that you exist.  Just reply to this message, and
  the message will be posted.
  
  
  You have to respond within one week.
  
  -- 
  Your friendly autoauthorizer at Gmane.org
  http://gmane.org/
  
 -- quote ends

I was expecting the prompt, like this, in news (not email).

I've posted two followups to
gmane.emacs.help but have no idea
the message was accepted.

The left most margin has RA.
I guess R=Read. A=?

Great news, everyone!

Gmane is up again, including the auth mail
which one needs after changing e-mail or
posting to a previously unposted-to newsgroup
(or after coming back to computer life after
a half-year vacation down the Amazon.)

So now there is no real reason to use old
gnu.emacs.help (which breaks threads when one
replies to posts), because now, again, one can
use NNTP with Gmane and have the same old
Usenet experience, only without causing trouble
to the mailing list, the web archives, and
perhaps other places/people as well.

Gmane is actually in some ways better than old
Usenet, so not only is there no real reason to
stick with gnu.emacs.help, there are several
reasons to use Gmane instead. So now you just
have to do it!

Check out gmane.discuss for more on this.

Thanks as always for great engineering and
a great piece of paleo-software for the real
techno-technos!
