Okay. That's your problem. news.gmane.org is the ONLY server (that I'm aware of) that has gmane.linux.debian.user available. That's what I use to read the mailing list as a newsgroup, and it works well. At news.gmane.org as a USENET news server in Evolution and you should be set. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
