Another way is to use Gmane; this list appears as gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general. Point your newsreader (I recommend Pan -- "yum install pan" will get it.) to news.gmane.org, and then search "fedora". The first time you try to post, Gmane will send you a message requiring you to prove you exist. (Spammers fail to reply to such messages.) Gmane will probably be able to autosub you; if not, browse to the URL in the footer, subscribe your email address, and let the welcome message from the list-server tell you how to set your subscription to nomail. This is especially convenient if the whole list is more than you can keep up with, but you want to pay close attention to certain threads (which you can highlight) -- such as your own, for instance. NB: You will note that my address, like yours at present, *is* divulged; but that is my choice -- and *not* my main address. The replies I sometimes get under the list seem to me worth the weeding I have to do after my local access provider screens out most span. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
