Newsgroups are in my experience the best if you use Gnus. For example gnu.emacs.help - this list/group. For lists that aren't groups as well, as you already seem to know (?) you can use mail splitting to make those mails appear to be newsgroups - not just appear, in all essence, it is the same (they respond the same way to commands in the Group buffer, for example). Splitting may look like this: (setq nnmail-split-methods '(("zsh" "^\\(Cc\\|\\(Resent-\\)?To\\):.*zsh-\\(announce\\|workers\\|users\\)@zsh\.org.*") ("debian.user" "^\\(Cc\\|\\(Resent-\\)?To\\):.*debian-user@lists\.debian\.org.*") ("l4" "^\\(Cc\\|\\(Resent-\\)?To\\):.*l4-hackers@os\.inf\.tu-dresden\.de.*") ("emacs-w3m" "^Subject: \\[emacs-w3m.*") ; ... ("mail.misc" "") )) How to reply? Use `gnus-article-followup-with-original'. It is bound to F but you can rebind it to r (or whatever) if you are not happy with having to use a two-key stroke for something that frequent. Check the headers in the message-mode buffer if you are in doubt. The only practical difference I have experienced between mailgroups and newsgroups (except the small overhead of setting up split-methods) is faces (fonts). Those are named differently: instead of `gnus-group-news-1' (etc.), `gnus-group-mail-1'. -- underground experts united
