I use Alpine to read mail and your messages come in with this additional field shown in the header: Newsgroups: list.flightgear-devel When reply to your posts, it asks if I want to reply to the author, the newsgroup or both. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.diy-cockpits.org/coll - Go Collimated or Go Home.
