Unless Marco has changed it recently (he planned to), the linux.debian.user newsgroup gateway is not bidirectional. That is, messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] are gatewayed to linux.debian.user, but not the other way round. Again unless/until it's changed, you can read via the newsgroup but should send messages to the mailing list directly. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
