i'm typing without thinking. Sorry. Let me try again. I subscribed to python-list@python.org. That has 0 spam ( as far as i can see), but i can only get a digest. They do say the list and comp.python group are bidirectional, but - at comp - tons of spam, there - none.
The google groups doesn't seemed to filter anything in the comp group. But what you recommend is to access the group using regular email client and use it's spam filtering . Did i get that right ?
