Posting via nntp on gmane has proven to be problematic (with the

But it means having to activate the mail delivery option in the list
and thereby getting
a *lot* of messages into the regular inbox...

doesn't your mail reader have filtering capabilities so you can toss those
messages into dedicated folders for them? my thunderbird sure does and all mail
is placed into special folders for reading... my folder for this area is under a
top level "programing" folder, a "pascal" folder and then a "lazarus" folder...
offlist private messages are handled similarly...

    programing/pascal/lazarus
    programing/pascal/lazarus/offlist

other emails, plain and lists related, are stored in similar fashion... it keeps
the inbox uncluttered except for things that have not yet had filters written
for them... some of those never will but still...

the point is, learn your software and how to use it then put it to work /for/
you instead of it making you work ;)


Yes, I am using Outlook 2003 and it has these capabilities for sure.
In fact I have set it up to stuff away the messages, but there are
just too many of them anyway.
And there is no real overview available like what one gets with a
newsreader like Agent. Threaded by topic and indented by sequence,
try doing tha with Outlook...

that's why i don't use lookout for /ANY/thing :P there are much better apps for news and email ;)

I have used this mail client (or its predecessors) since about 1997 or
so and I have a lot of messages saved that are work related.

i can understand that... my archives go back to about 1995 or so... and that's not counting all the stuff i have archived from my UUCICO days before the "internet" came along :P

But I do not want to expand it into being a repository for the mail
lists too when we have news mirrors like GMANE available.

understood... i just don't understand using a news feed for mailing lists, i guess...

Finally, the problems are coming from a misconfiguration on the GMANE
server itself as was discovered by Vincent Snijders, so I hope that
the GMANE maintainer will fix the problem after he has read my report
to him.

yes, i saw that later... i hope that my post was not taken in a bad light but i do have my asbestos panties on if anyone feels like aiming their flame thrower in my direction instead of at /dev/nul ;)
