On that note -- isn't it really uncomfortable to have a threaded  
discussion via e-mail (and have an e-mail sent to you for every post you  
might never even want to read?)
I know this is derailing the thread a bit, but I'm just now feeling the  
disadvantage of taking part in a newsgroup that's run via e-mail, using a  
news server (gmane in my case) that's more or less just bolted on (with my  
messages appearing a day late in the list and so on...), and I would have  
thought that the most sensible thing would have been to have a proper nntp  
server in the first place. After all, most e-mail clients can just set up  
nntp accounts with no problem (at least Opera has been able to, since at  
least ten years.) And things like the problem that started this thread  
could be more easily avoided if there was a clear distinction between  
regular e-mail and newsgroup posts.

It appears I must overlook something here, since these days everyone seems  
to switch to mailing lists instead of newsgroups, but I don't really see  
what the advantage is supposed to be.
