The original message you sent to the newsgroup will be posted within ten minutes. Your friendly autoauthorizer at Gmane.io https://gmane.io/ END QUOTE It was wrong relative to indicating that the original message would show up there. Given that the new message went through, it seems that if I see a freebsd-*@freebsd.org for the same list(s) show up in the To list, it may be that I should delete it/them from the To list before sending. -- === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.comhome | help
