I too use Gmane to read all mailing lists, but I use a dedicated news client (slrn) instead of a combined e-mail/news client. I definitely don't want all those e-mailes coming through my in-box where _I've_ got to filter, sort, and archive them. I'd much rather let gmane handle that. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
