Hm. If you would use Kmail instead of Outlook Express there would be
an easy way to avoid this... ;-)
Just set up a folder called 'mandrake' and apply a filter on incoming
mail, which would automatically put all mailings from this list in this
folder.

There are several Web-to-Usenet gateways that let you browse newsgroups
with your preferred browser. As far as I know they are even free. There is
one at hotbot (www.hotbot.com/usenet) and of course there's dejanews
(www.dejanews.com) but there surely are lots of others out there. I would
suggest dejanews. They provide an excellent service.
