This will allow you to download all the messages easily and cheaply at night, but it won't help you to organize them. I agree with you, though, that a newsgroup would be nice. But the current format is working just fine for me. One possible problem with a newsgroup is that there are a whole bunch of Debian mailing lists. I don't know how much traffic the lists get, but Debian might not have the resources to support a news server that gets that much traffic. (I don't know what news server require for resources; I was just speculating.) noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNpTy7IdCcpBjGWoFAQGqNAQAnRO8X+3IHzi92E6t9xUf/urTXVGl8o1P 0Iu0mOwIAPQuOxJG3srdYS0gikOAaEKblBMVd1Kx77p+GXzxJNo8bZ1zCzzsFbr8 9bLDN0ZDYJyWOw2RpPZJfgr6+e40x073UPaPQUlsgNoK/HlpsLU2cvx37x6qhPW3 10hwVIZoIAs= =e+MD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
