But, you see, I believe gnu.emacs.help mirrors some mail list and when I post to it, I think it stays in the newsgroup instead of going to the mail list. Why do I think that? I think someone told me that once, so I guess I didn't even quite follow the implicit advice there. Anyhow, I think my emacs.help community is actually very small. I don't really know how it works. Must I subscribe myself to emacs.help, the mail list? Perhaps if I were a subscriber, then my messages would go to the mail list. Alright, I just did that. I'm subscribed. Let's see what happens. Thanks!
