Re: To gmail or not to gmail (was Re: Fwd: selecting old machines for firewall/router use)
There is effectively a list reply feature in gmail. Hit "Reply to all"
and debian-user@lists.debian.org appears in the cc field. For this
reply I have removed the To address and just kept the cc address.
However I use Icedove for newsgroups and also a gmail account where I
automatically archive the debian user posts. This allows me to use the
gmail search feature if I want to look for something. If I find it
with gmail I can reply there or jump into Icedove to find the thread.
I find Icedove's search is poor, and if you find a post to view it
opens in a new window rather than finding it in the main window where
the thread could be seen.
