I know this is despised, but I am actually testing this list with an email. If you knew the circles I've been running around trying to get UCLA to fix their news server for the c.l.python list, you would not blame me. The hours I've wasted on this. I just want to be able to use this list with a decent news reader (thunderbird) and the ucla news servers. Unfortunately, I am going to test until it works. Trust me, I've tried everything. It should not be so damn hard. How old is nntp? 30 years old or more. One would think that it could be gotten right at some point. Well, write back with your admonishments, they will be wasted keystrokes. Sorry, I just want to read this list.
On the upside, I wouldn't be so vehement about any other list. James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
