I will be the first one to make a comment of a NNTP server for hosting this group and possibly the other groups for Cygwin, isn't that after all what a NNTP group is designed for. I would be one to second Andrew's idea because of the idea that often times I am in need of searching about a certain idea in the archives and not only does it bring up the relative needed information, it also brings up stuff from many years back.

Why not simply set up a news server instead of this mail list. I find the mail list deficient in several areas. First and foremost it's noisy causing me to wade through all this email for topics I'm interested in. Secondly there's no easy or convenient way to response to individual issues (I get a digest of cygwin stuff emailed to me). Seems to me that nntp was designed specifically for such communications and a number of companies have set up news servers for such things. Finally a number of times I receive a digest speaking of topics and articles but the email message is apparently truncated and the bodies of these articles are missing. Comments? (I'm sure there will be some). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
