My default UseNet config is a From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I tried posting a couple of times using that and the post never showed up. When I modified my From and took out the .x I was able to post just fine. And, no, so far I am not subscribed either. This thread is a good test and it appears as long as I remember to use a valid (though disposable) From address it works.

But something is not quite right, as my mail client (mutt) is marking all of your follow-ups to this thread with an asterisk character because your follow-up messages do not include the appropriate 'In-Reply-To' and/or 'References' headers. The threading is working but based solely on the subject line. -- Bob Cox. Stoke Gifford, near Bristol, UK.

Debian-User To UseNet Reliability?
Hi all; I have been following Debian User for a long time now, via the UseNet group. Lately I have replied to an issue or 2 (via the mailing list) but not all responses seem to make it to the UseNet. Are there any others who access it this way and have you noticed missing posts ... or is this possibly a problem with my usenet server? TIA! (This is such a high volume mailing list that the UseNet access is a nice alternative to a full mailbox all the time.) -- Doug Mitton - Linux Counter #50401 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
