1. Unsubscribed posters are evidently using a newsgroup to post a question.
Wrong. They are sending their questions to us...@openoffice.org. Because
this list allows unsubscribed posters to post messages they are posted
to the list. Their posts have the header "Delivered To: moderator for
users@openoffice.org"
The posts from those of us who post through gmane have the header
"X-Injected-Via-Gmane: http://gmane.org/";
2. Messages on this mailing list evidently go to that newsgroup.
All messages to the list go to the gmane newsgroup
"gmane.comp.openoffice.questions". I use a newsreader (Thunderbird) to
post and read messages in this list.
3. If an unsubscribed poster wants an answer to that question, evidently
FOLLOWING that newsgroup will give that poster the answer:
Except they did not post their message through the newsgroup. They know
nothing about gmane.
A. Without being subscribed to the list.
B. Without list-members having to:
1. Remember to forward.
2. Remember to CC:
3. Remember to BCC:
4. Remember to reply to all.
All the poster has to do is bookmark his/her question in his/her browser
and like MAGIC, every answer is ATTACHED to it.
How can they do this when they know nothing about gmane? Do you know
anything about posting to this list through gmane?
