Perhaps the djgpp mailing list could be split into 3 lists: djgpp-bugs,
djgpp-help, djgpp-misc (and possibly a fourth, djgpp-help-newuser) in
addition to the existing djgpp-announce, then each mailing list could be
two-way linked to the corresponding newsgroup (so that each reflects the
other).
If you have mailing lists and newsgroups which are not linked I expect
that a lot of stuff will get posted to both, but not everything will so
if I want to see everything I have to read the newsgroup and the mailing
list and put up with duplicate postings (which, in the case of the mailing
list, I am paying quite a bit for).
