Hi all,
I've subscribed to vim-use and vim-dev by sending a mail to
[email protected] and [email protected] respectively. I also pointed my
newsreader to news.gmane.org and listen to gmane.editors.vim and
gmane.editors.vim.devel. So currently I receive messages both through
the mailing list in my gmx.net account, and I can also read them via
nntp, which obviously is a waste of time and resources. Not to mention
these annoying filtering rules I have to setup for the mailing list,
that may also fail from time to time if something changes (no prob wit
vim-use/dev so far, I just subscribed today :)
Well, just a few minutes later I had the first problems and needed to
adjust the filtering rules. I don't like mailing lists...
I would be prefer to just have the gmane newsgroup account for sending
and receiving messages, and not receive any email in my normal inbox.
Is that possible? I found this page which I think implies the anser
is yes: http://gmane.org/post.php . So would posting a message on the
gmane list create a new account or can I use the one I already
created? (I don't want to send a message to both vim-use and vim-dev
via gmane to just find that out, because everyone hate's these random
test messages on newsgroups..)
Actually my previous mail also happened to be a question and
test mail at once, because I sent it via gmane, and I just received
this message from gmane

You have sent a message to be posted on the
gmane.editors.vim newsgroup.
This is a non-public mailing list, which means that you have to
subscribe to the list to post to it. If you're already subscribed to
the list, Gmane can forward the message you sent to the list if you
respond to this message. If not, you should sign up to the mailing
list first, and then respond to this message, or just forget about it.
Many mailing lists have an option to subscribe to a list, but then put
it in 'nomail' mode, which means that you won't receive any mail from
the list.
The mailing list software used for the list in question is google.
You have to respond within one week.

Of course I did response, that's why you can read my question after
all ;)
Well, at least I know it's possible to send messages using
the account I already created now. That's good. But I still need to know
if it's possible to put the vim mailing lists into the 'nomail' mode as
described above. Any ideas?
If yes, that should IMHO be explained at
http://www.vim.org/maillist.php . Also a short sentence that you have
to point your newsreader to news.gmane.org and not to
gmane.editors.vim or so would be appreciated, would have saved me a
few minutes googling (I didn't even find that info on gmane.org).
thanks in advance :)
And if it's possible, it should also be added how to put the mailing
lists into 'nomail' mode. Or explicitly say that it's not possible, of
course.
I'm surprised that there was no reply to this post in more than 1½ months.
If you have a Google Groups account (which I suppose you got implicitly
by subscribing to the list, but I'm not 100% sure), you can set each
Google Group separately to "No email", "Email" (i.e. Full email),
"Abridged Email" (i.e. daily), "Digest" (not sure what that means), or
"Unsubscribe" (which removes you from that group's membership and voids
your "posting clearance"). To do this, go to
http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs (you may need to log in by
email-address and password; if you have a Google account for the same
email address that's the one whose password you'll reuse), set the
"Subscription Type" widget(s) as you want it/them to be, then click
"Save group settings" at the bottom of the list.
Best regards,
Tony.
