Both reach over 3 out of every 4 sites though. (2) I saw Peter email to news-announce-newgroups@uunet.uu.net (or somesuch) -- can this be used to post, using just email, to some groups? (it failed for alt-activism@...); we don't have GNUs here yet and I'll love to be able to post from emacs It is only for moderated groups, and all mailpaths sites handle only the moderated groups that way. Posted mail in other groups can be done by mailing to news-group-name@ucbvax.berkeley.edu or news.group.name@cis.ohio-stated.edu or news.group.name@rpi.edu. Crossposting does not work with any of these, though I believe if you send an article with an appropriate Newsgroups: header to post-usenet@ucbvax.berkeley.edu that will work. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JYM: __ Mail is less efficient than news, and it is indeed possible _ that overuse could cause such a thing to be taken away.
