Fair enough, but occasionally people post in a vacuum, so to speak.
Here are two (News) message-ID's of articles posted to the debian-user
gateway as News which never reached the mailing-list.
Message-ID: <6hKSa.14290$Mc.1058935@newsread1.prod.itd.earthlink.net>
-article sent to the gateway only
Message-ID: <bgi1bk$5u1@imsp212.netvigator.com>
-article sent to the gateway only

Huh? I posted in reply to Colin on the list from a saved News-
article, without being subscribed to the list. However, I never
received any message about registering my email address?
Message-ID: <hAgY.3xz.5@gated-at.bofh.it>
-my gated article sent successfully to the list without my being
subscribed and editing message headers by hand to preserve threading.
The point is that some confusion exists some of the time. Some people
reading Usenet and who have a question suitable for the debian-user
list think the list is a newsgroup and post accordingly, or have
difficulties doing news2mail - myself included.
Most people posting to other gated Debian lists might be expected to
have more clue about how this works. But this is a gateway to the
User list and I think it would be best if details about news2mail were
made as blindingly obvious as possible. Can anything (more) be done
to clarify how the d-u gateway works for news2mail?
