> What is the name of the newsgroup this Pan list is on? First, go to http://gmane.org and read all about it. Then point pan (and/or OE, which I see you are using as well...) at news.gmane.org as the server. The group is gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user. Note that the first time you post to the group, you'll get a reply from gmane to your mailing address, asking for confirmation. After you confirm, it'll forward the post to the mailing list, and you can post from then on. If you prefer the news interface to the mail interface, you can then set your subscription on the listserv (not gmane, but the listserv to which you now subscribe) to "vacation" mode, which will keep you subscribed to the list so you can post, but will quit sending the actual mails to your address so you don't have to deal with them there, as well. I follow both the pan-devel and user groups thru gmane, as well as my other lists, mostly gentoo lists, but others as well. Note that for each list, you'll have to go thru a separate gmane authorization, but it's only one-time, after which you can post without issue. If the list itself is a "closed" list that you have to subscribe to, to post (very common, due to the spammers otherwise), you will of course have to subscribe if you haven't already, then set it to vacation mode or whatever, for each one, but that of course is entirely separate from the gmane side of things. You'll also occasionally see references to the gmane list2web gateway, along with the list2news gateway I'm posting thru. This can be handy for providing links to specific messages or threads on a mailing list gmane carries. I often see links to lkml (Linux Kernel Mailing List) discussions as carried on gmane's web interface, for instance. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
