Like I said, I'm simple -- I didn't even catch the difference between mailing list/newsgroup! I only read/reply from gmail, and assumed that subscribing to the mailing list was sending me all activity from the newsgroup (though didn't really know there was a difference -- is there?). Then again, the OP discusses 17.5k emails in his /inbox/, so he must be doing the same? Or did he mean POP/IMAP subscription to the group or RSS into an email program? John > > Dave > >
