This is a test of using gmane.os.freebsd.current from macOS

It works! Observe, however, that your entire message is one
level of quotation too deep, because you are replying to
yourself, and your entire message is a quotation. I suppose it
is rather a user slip than a Thunderbird bug.
Yes.
This should also
explain why your message is an orphan (not part of a thread).
In my news.gmane.io context, my oddly quoted message is indented just
under your message in the thread and does not appear to be an orphan at all.
. . . To ensure correct threading, take care to reply to
messages from the newsgroup, rather than from your local inbox
or outbox.
My few subscriptions that were set up to get mail are now set up for no
mail. (Most were nomail in the first place.) On macOS all list reading
and message sending/replying now are via news.gmane.io . For my context,
it was a great suggestion.
Looking at lists on the iPad is still via the normal web interface. I do
not send messages from there.
. . . With this list,
this is achieved by sending an e-mail with any content and
subject to:
[email protected]
If you are already subscribed, it will change your subscripton
mode to no-delivery.
news.gmane.io sends out mailman related instructions as most of the
lists information have not been updated since before the Mlmmj
conversion (Mailing List Software) in 2021-May+ or so.
Another oddity is that "encode encrypt" is set for (at least):
gmane.os.freebsd.devel.pkg [email protected]
gmane.os.freebsd.jail [email protected]
gmane.os.freebsd.devel.virtualization [email protected]
This messes with how things are displayed for reading messages (compared
to the lists.freebsd.org web way of reading) when one or more of those
are included in the set of lists a message had been sent to. It is
trying to make the content anonymous. I sent a request for an adjustment
for the one I'm subscribed to: gmane.os.freebsd.devel.pkg . I did not
know of the other 2 at the time.
I did not notice dev-commits-src-main or
dev-commits-src-branches or dev-commits-ports-main as
available.
I got dev-commits-src-main wrong: it is there as:
gmane.os.freebsd.current.scm [email protected]
With the new UI context, I've changed which ports list I use to one I
was not previously using. dev-commits-ports-all . news.gname.io has two
selections that reference that:
gmane.os.freebsd.ports.scm [email protected]
gmane.os.freebsd.devel.cvs.ports [email protected]
I'm using the first. The 2nd has a likely false list of (non-equivalent)
freebsd-*@freebsd.org aliases reported.
. . . Take utmost care when filling the
request form and exercise patience while the administrator
processes your request. That page is also useful for searching
for available mailing lists, because group names may be
different.
We will see how my request goes. I also asked a question about the
potential handling of mailman vs. Mlmmj issue since it is not limited to
one or a few gmane.os.freebsd.* . The submittal form is not designed for
such issues and 1-by-1 submittals might not be desired.
Another possible oddity is the "+" in gmane.os.freebsd.ports.scm having
mlmmj+ listed for the Mailing List Software.
Thanks again for the reference to news.gmane.io .
