Sorry to reply to my own post but I probably should have added: In Thunderbird's *mail* component, which is what I use on one of my computers, it is possible to set up a "filter" that, for example, highlights in red in the Inbox all moderated messages i.e. those from unsubscribed users. I have done this and obviously it makes life simpler. Thunderbird's *news* component does not allow one to do this and one has to examine the headers "by eye". So using TB to reply to this list via Gmane is that little bit more awkward. Firefox also does not allow the creation of an appropriate filter. Haven't tried Internet Explorer. Some other *mail* programs allow the creation of an appropriate filter, others don't. I don't know about other *news* programs. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
