Mostly yes. Back in the early days (~1987), that happened now and then. But more that the "flow" of email is a bit different than news and new people (as I was then) can miss something in email (because they weren't on all the MLs) or news (because threads split and rejoined and you missed something). Also, working with patches via email/news was sometimes problematic. Things have gotten better over time. -- David Masterson
