Mark also has a bit of a problem differentiating between NNTP and SMTP
and has "posted" to emails instead of to newsgroups.
The newsgroup and mailing list bidirectionally mirror each other. When
someone posts to the mailing list, it appears in the newsgroup as well,
and when someone posts to the newsgroup, it gets sent to the mailing
list as well.
Chris, if I were to be subscribing to the lists, but hadn't been here
for a week or so, would the list server request the latest message
number my computer had received from this group, and then "send" me an
e-mail containing all the more recent posts??
No; the mailing list doesn't know if you're subscribed to the newsgroup.
So, then, if I were only subscribed to the mailing list, does the list
server keep a record of which posts it has sent me??
No; when a message is sent to the list, a copy gets sent to your email
address. That's all.
