I think it is undesirable to ask questions by way of mail and at the same time not be on the list. That way those who answer the question will have to look out for notes they should manually include a CC to reach the poster, as we just learned that cannot be deducted. Not mentioning it is brainless activity that is boring and easy to forget. People should never hesitate - OK, here as question; I know the answer, BAM! I just send the OP my reply and feel good about it. > I am one of those who prefer to follow the newsgroup Yes, I use Gnus for both mails and news, when I can favor one, I pick news.

Yes, I don't want > my mailbox to fill up with a lot a mail that I'll > have do deal with (if only to delete it) Gnus has a feature called mail splitting. With that, mail can act exactly like news. After setting it up, which is easy, after 5 seconds you don't care what is news and what is mail. Same interface, looks the same, everything is the same. > NNTP is much easier to deal with IMO than mailing > lists, and I generally prefer to use Gmane rather > than signing up for mailing lists if I possibly can. > > The fact that I follow gnu.emacs.help rather than a > mailing list is a *good* thing. Yeah, the discussion is not about mail vs. news. -- underground experts united
