Anybody know how to do that in Gmail? I'm using GMail for my e-mail. However I rarely use the web interface. I would suggest you take a look through GMail options/settings and enable POP retrieval. Then you can read and post using a regular e-mail address using Google POP/SMTP. That will help enormously when posting to high volume e-mail lists.

How to best use the list?
I have done a bit of posting here during my attempt to get sarge running smoothly, and my experience has shown me that I need to learn a bit on how best to use this list. I use WinXP and Gmail to communictate to the list (still struggling with debian on another box). I have been advised to reply to the list, to bottom post removing irrelevant sections, and to use plain text rather than HMTL. Seems reasonable. I think I am using plain text now. Gmail allows either rich formatting or text. What I don't know is how to reply to the list so that I don't create a separate thread with each e-mail. If I use the reply button in Gmail, the reply goes to the sender, and not to the list. It would be infinitely better for me to keep similar posts in a thread together, and to reply to the list.

[msg snipped] Anybody know how to do that in Gmail? In gmail, you cannot reply to list. There is reply and there is reply to all. A list of email clients which support reply to list out of the box can be found at http://wiki.debian.org/ReplyToListEmailClients Either use one of those or subscribe to the list through gmane. Regarding general guidelines to posting on the list http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/du-guidelines.html might be useful. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
