A very nice way to use this list is through gmane. Gmane is a news gateway to this group. It gives you access to almost all the messages ever posted to the mailing list (currently over 100000 for debian-user). Most news clients let you choose how many of those headers you want to get (say for the 500 most recent messages) and then amongst those you can choose which messages you actually want to download. To respond to a message or to post a message to the group all you have to do is post a message to the newsgroup and it is automatically relayed to the mailing-list (there is a five minute delay so that we are protected from spammers). Gmane homepage: http://www.gmane.org Debian user: nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user or even http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user I am in fact posting this message through gmame to show that the process is pretty transparent. Although I am subscribed to debian-user (since I'm a debian fanatic) there are tons of mailing lists that I have only a passing interest in, and even my email resources are finite.
