If, however, you wish to access the newsgroup Emmanuel suggested, gmane.emacs.help, you should be able to do that via TB as well; at least, the last time I used TB, which was some years ago now, it had support for newsgroups. If you do wish to try using "news" instead of "email", the newsgroup server is "news.gwene.org" and the newsgroup to subscribe to is "gmane.emacs.help". You might wish to try this but email subscription, as you have already, is perfectly fine. -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 30.0.50 2023-08-14) on Debian 12.1
