Last I heard the usenet group is unidirectional mail -> news and was a little flakey at that. Making it bidirectional would invite all the noise/spam problems that you get with usenet. You can read the groups on lists.debian.org with a browser. Or mutt threads mail well. Or if you're running your own news server (cnews is simple to set up) you can use one of the mail-to-news programs and take advantage of the news system's expire and newsreader's threading. "apt-cache search news mail gateway" shows some of those if you're running unstable (for the multiword search). apt backports to stable cleanly if you're running stable. HTH, Rick --
