I did it differently: I got myself a free Geocities e-mail account and subscribed to all the Linux lists I wanted using that address. Geocities has a POP3 facility, so I just configured two accounts in Eudora and download all the mail from the Geocity's server to my HD. (I still haven't configured PPP on my Linux box, so I use Windblows for the time being). Serves another purpose too: I keep all the entries posted on the list (takes up space, but that's okay). When I have a problem I first make a search of all the entries I have on my HD before going on the net or posting a question myself. Nine out of ten times I can find the answer in the postings from the last month. --Hans
