There is a new service to provide access to public email lists
through one's newsreader. The address is gmane.org. There is a
gmane hierarchy, gmane.emacs which has lots of list dear to
many. Inclusive of these are:
gmane.emacs.jdee
gmane.emacs.windows (This is the ntemacs list)
gmane.emacs.xae
This was started and is admin'd by the same fellow who authored
Gnus. He "hates" mailing lists, so he decided to provide an nntp
gateway to them. He also is providing support for removing spam,
and I trust the he should know some of the best ways to get rid
of spam.
looking to provide a "proper" search engine as well.
I think its a great idea cause now I can cancel my subscriptions
to these lists and do not have to handle the pop downloads and
other such self-service type stuff.
