I wasn't aware that comp.lang.python was a news-to-mail gateway. How can
one tell the difference between news groups that use a news-to-mail
gateway, and news groups that don't?
by reading the group's FAQ, perhaps?
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/python-faq/python-newsgroup-faq/
comp.lang.python (or c.l.py for short) is the general discussion
newsgroup for users of the Python language. It is also available
as a mailing list; see below for instructions on subscribing to
c.l.py through the mailing list.
it's been this way since the group was formed ~14 years ago, and isn't
likely to change.
