I'd bet it's different than this one.I didn't easily find a way to do that on the web page(s).KenIn Thunderbird, go to "Tools/Account Settings". Select your Gmane account. The email address is listed under the Default Identity for your Gmane account.Yea, knew that. :-)But, after thinking overnight about Florian's message, I realized that the email address there, which is this email address, may not be the one I originally used. It dawned on me that originally, I had originally signed up with the nomailoption for LO, and that original address may no longer exist. :-)That would explain why you couldn't post through gmane. Since theaddress listed in your gmane account is the same as the address used in this post you should now be able to post through gmaneBut, when I signed up *again* for the LO mailing list, I'll bet I used a different email address, and that technically, I've got two mailing list accounts at LO, and that may be part of the problem.IOW, I have one account that is "no email blahblah@unknown_account.net" and one account at "[email protected] somehow there is confusion between GMANE, LO, and me.So, if I could get rid of "no email blahblah@unknown_account.net" at LO, assuming this *is* the problem, maybe the problem will go away all on its own. At least, it will be one address that doesn't have to be tracked and recorded at LO. :-)In other words, I may now be receiving GMANE addresses via one email address, and this message thread via another email address.You do not receive gmane posts through your email address, but through your NNTP newsreader. The email address is only used so you can also be reached by email to confirm your subscription and so you can be contacted privately.Granted. But, that's not quite what I'm trying to say. :-)I'm saying I'm reading and responding to this thread using the email component of Thunderbird. But, the GMANE NNTP component of Thunderbird is using the "blah, blah, blah" account for verification. And "blah, blah, blah" no longer exists, so there is no verification possible.Try posting a message through gmane to see if it works. If so you could change your account at LO to nomail.That's what I was planning, but I want to know the cause before I effect a cure. If my suspicion is correct, and I only fix the wordworks address, I may end up receiving duplicate messages. :-)Ken
Please fix your quote attribution. It is almost impossible to pick out your comments in this mess.
You said "But, the GMANE NNTP component of Thunderbird is using the "blah, blah, blah" account for verification." You previously stated that the address listed in you gmane account settings is the same as the one in this email. That is the address used for verification, not your "blah, blah, blah" address.
