It seems like you may still be missing something here. Your first message was received on 2006-05-11 at 14:59 GMT and sent to the cygwin mailing list with almost no lag. Your second message was received at 2006-05-11 15:15. That means that there was ~15 minute delay between the two messages. I don't want to belabor this point but it seemed like you think that gmane is somehow a required mechanism for communicating to the cygwin mailing list and that is not the case. gmane is a completely separate site with completely separate rules. You don't need to know anything about gmane to send email here. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
