Strictly http and https, and only through Internet Explorer. I'll give the gmane.org site a try when the network comes online. ^_^ If I can get enough of a connection to bring the pages up, then it may be acceptable for reading purposes. If that is the case, then I can use email to post. I will try to keep my inbox clean until then. ^_^ :) > -Original Message- > From: Enrico Weigelt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 7:27 AM > To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: A List Question > > > * [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > altough I missed the start of the thread ... > > > > > My problem is that I do not often have proper internet access > > underway, and I NEVER have NNTP access at all from the ship > I am on. > > I have to deal with highly restrictive network policies. > Email is the > > only viable option, I am just not sure if my account can > handle a full > > mailing list without digests.

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: A List Question
Thank you for all the input. I will give the gmane page a try when I am able. Although that is not an optimal option, it may still be better than just unsubscribing. Thank you very much to all those who answered my questions. :) -- Ken -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I have to deal with highly restrictive network policies. Email is the only viable option, I am just not sure if my account can handle a full mailing list without digests. However, the same network also makes the mime digests almost impossible. How do I disable mail delivery? No matter what commands I throw at the help server, it just sends me back a list of the -subscribe@ and -unsubscribe@ email addresses. :( I am probably missing something obvious. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

There is a very nice, browser based interface to this list: www.gmane.org you have to registers, and it chokes up a few times a year, but, it's really cool to view/post to the list via gmane.
