I agree - you can *send* to a non-subscribed NG (it's just an

No, you aren't sending an e-mail. You are sending a news post.
I just replied/cross posted another Reply to the Test group, which I
do *not* subscribe to...and I bet it will show up there...
Yes, it did, I suppose. My newsreader automatically marks a post as
read in other groups after I'd read it in one.
Will SM do that? How do you do that?..
No. The Mozilla products (SeaMonkey and Thunderbird) are not full-fledged
newsreaders, and lack a lot of capability of real dedicated newsreaders.
In my Pan, it just happens.
It may not be a genuine "e-mail", but it seems to act like one as far
as addressing goes. So that's how I handle them.
What is so hard for you about calling it what it is? I.E. not an
e-mail,
but a post. By not using the correct nomenclature, you serve to confuse
others who may read your posts.
I guess I'm saying I care more about how it works than what it's
called...
I'm just hoping you won't want to confuse others by your statements.
No, just address the original question.
just like I don't care about the difference between Webkit and
Gekko;
Webkit and Gekko are both browser engines, like Ford and Chevrolet are
both cars. E-mail and News would be more like sedans and motorcycles. They
both have wheels, but are quite dissimilar.
...yes, but they all drive on the same road and follow the same rules,
in general.
I use SM rather than Safari because I like the *features* it offers, not
because of what's under the hood. If the car starts running like crap,
then I'll just drive another one that doesn't. I don't care who's
engine is under the hood - I care that it runs...and that my creature
comforts are as I desire. This is the heart and soul of UI, IMO...only
us geeks might actually care about much else.
I only care that what I get functions as advertised. The
original question was about how the cross postings *work*, and/or why
they weren't working...just observation/illustration.
Crossposts work because of the function of the news-server software.
...again - "creature comforts" as far as how one might implement
addressing in their reader interface. One could write one that
behaves/looks *just* like a mail client and still does what it needs to do.
