Hmm... because usenet sucks? mailing list digests aren't very nice at all, at least I don't like them much. I just set up procmail to pre-sort my mail for me (>20 lists). I use Outlook 2k (no jokes please) for reading my mail through IMAP, and everything 'just works.' In the bad old days of pop3, I had numerous filtering/sorting rules in place to sort my messages as they came down. I hope I never have to do it that way again. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 It's always a long day, 86400 doesn't fit into a short > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Matthew Rochlin > Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 12:08 PM > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: mailing list vs. newsgroup? > > > Just curious (and forgive me if this is one of those holy war kind of > questions - I don't mean to be flame-bait). > Is there a reason this is a mailing list instead of a newsgroup? > > (Getting 3+ digests per day (unthreaded) is kind of cumbersome > and doesn't > seem like the most efficient system....) > I just joined the digest list a week or so ago, and it's been > very useful, > but a bit awkward to read through. > Many BSD releated newsgroups get significantly less message volume than > this list. > Thanks > ============= > Matthew Rochlin > 708 Nowita Place > Venice, CA 90291 > v.
