I agree with you. I am using gmane.linux.debian.user. I am not subscribed to the list - I save those messages that I want to keep and don't need to download them all. You cannot post to the list from linux.debian.user - that one recieves the list mail, but doesn't send it. I think the best way would be gmane, because then your message will find its way into the thread. If you send to the list from yahoo, you can duplicate the Subject, but it doesn't end up threading properly. Reading from the archives isn't bad either, but it is much easier to post from the newsgroup. When you read from the archives, you still have the problem of bringing up an email client and duplicating the Subject and so on. Yeah, linuxmail is about as cumbersome as it gets. Too bad.
