While researching how nabble works, I found that they used as an example, gmane. So I'm trying replying to this list via gmain's forum view (using a web interface). With a forum view, people can choose whether or not to subscribe or just go to the forum to read and post replies. Of course, with a forum, you have to have internet connectivity. You could also choose to do both. > Will everything that comes from nabble > have the same sender? In Nabble, (and also, I think in GMane - this test should verify) the posts appear to come from your email address. > What about spam? Users have to be registered in nabble to post, and have to "subscribe" as well, to the mailing list. GMane has a bunch of things to persuade spammers to go elsewhere, and I'm leaning to *not* doing anything to sign up with nabble, since we already have GMane, and it appears to work well... -Marshall > > --Thilo > >
