	The only problem with that is you don't then catch any
	reply posts (since these adopt the same subject line).
	I've added a space in this one to bypass your filter and
	allow you to see it.

	Or do newsgroup posts somehow get sent to the list as well?

[Moderator's note: Yes, the newsgroup posts are injected into the
                   plan9 mailing list.  This *doesn't* blow up in
                   an endless loop when the same article on the
                   mailing list come to be re-injected into the News
                   system.  The News software knows it has seen the
                   Message-ID and discards the article.]

	I read the newsgroup since I dislike to receive email
	from mailing lists.
