While sending a message via news.gmane.io, as well as with via any NNTP server, the To: header is not used, because it is specific to e-mail. Gmane, however, automatically supplies it on its end, filling with the list address. What I said about submitting messages via Gmane still stands true: you need only specify the newsgroup (in the Newsgroups: header). Gmane will then receive your message, inject it into its own archive, and deliver to the actual mailing list. Give it some time to appear in the latter. When you specify a To: header with the list's e-mail address, Thunderbird probably submits the message twice: once via NNTP, and once via SMTP, causing it to reach the mailinsg list sooner, at the expense of redundant delivery by two protocols using two accounts.home | help
