It's certainly very possible that the missing article was private email only, although possibly by mistake. The mailing list doesn't seem to be a simple subscriber, as an example quoted before showed no sign of attachments in the usenet version, but the mail archive version that I was pointed to mentioned that attachments (a PGP signature) had been suppressed. I assume you mean the usenet gateway is a subscriber, as usenet groups can't subscribe to mailing lists on their own. In that case, it is at least theoretically possible that the gateway suppresses the message on the usenet side, but if it is an ordinary subscriber on the mailing list side, the message will still go to other mailing list subscribers. One obvious case in which this would happen is if there was a duplicate message ID. I haven't checked the mail archives, but I did check Google groups, and it hasn't seen the missing message. > _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
