No, use slrn, and you can pretty much ignore the following. > 4. If you want to reply to a message, find the same message > in http://lists.debian.org/debian-user. Then click the > "reply to list" link. If everything goes well, an Icedove > mail compose window will come up, with an empty message area. In slrn, I hit f, and the message opens up in emacs. Snip, type, CTRL-xc. > 5. Now the trick: in this compose window, click "options", > "quote message". In the compose window, the message (which will > go to the LIST), the message from the NEWSGROUP will be > quoted.
