I'll get out of the discussion at this point, because: G> The spec does not differentiate between email, USENET, or mailing lists, This is a mistake, IMHO. For technical reasons: News postings get propagated over the world via various news servers. That's why the mid needs to be unique. Mailings on mailing lists don't work that way. They are contained within the ML. Even though they are made readable with newreaders via Gmane (like this list), they will be contained. I see no reason to be the owner of the domain when posting to an ML, but it does makes sense when posting to an NG. -- Cheers, Thomas.
