JM> And what exactly does the NOMAIL feature mean? That you can't post by JM> e-mail? The NOMAIL switch is one for your subscription for this mailing list. It set's your subscription to no mail delivery for you. You'll no longer receive copies of the list traffic. GMane will host the list traffic in a read only state. You'll be able to use a news reader to read the list traffic. However, you'll not be able to post to the server. If you wish to participate in discussions you'll still need a mailing list subscription to TBUDL. If you wish to read via only NNTP, then you can avoid getting list traffic sent to you by mail, by setting your subscription to NOMAIL. See the link http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html for more information on how to adjust your subscription.

You'll also need to address your messages to the list address and make sure that your From address is your subscription address.. JM> The thought of not even needing The Bat! anymore to post or read JM> messages to tbudl is a little strange, of course, but... You can leave things as they are now. You don't have to change to NNTP if you don't wish to. It's just there as an alternative means for reading list traffic since we've gotten requests for this many times in the past. We've been late on this since the security wasn't up to it prior to now. -- -= Allie Martin =- | List Moderator PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com ____________________________________ Using TB! v2.04.7 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
