Also, debian-user@lists.debian.org is the canonical place to get messages sent here; linux.debian.user isn't run from the Debian servers and so might not always work (it's not necessarily carried by all news servers either). I didn't think messages posted to linux.debian.user showed up here, although somebody might have been brave enough to set up a bidirectional gateway (mail->news gateways are easy, mail->news->mail gateways have considerable danger of mail loops if you get something small wrong). -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
