Anyway - another great example of why these lists are *so* much better
accessed using gmane.
Please excuse my ignorance but how is this (repeated message problem)
alleviated by the use of gmane?
Well, mainly, it means I don't get my email inboxes filling up with tons
of spam. But I would say that perhaps my wording should have concluded
with the phrase "for me" ;-)
I tend to "act on" email in a far more timely manner than I do with
newsgroups. It's way I work; newsgroups are to be read and comments made
during those quiet/leisure periods.
Although I have 10 or so different email addresses, almost all of the
mail that arrives in them is - in some way - important and relevant to
work/family whatever. Newsgroups are treated very differently.
I usually have *no* unread messages in my email boxes, the many
newsgroups I subscribe to sit at the bottom of the folder list and get
read/dealt with as and when I can (I use Thunderbird BTW).
For me, it's a great way to differentiate between traditional email
activities and mailing lists.
