Going to some other group to retrieve a summary buffer for a message I just sent (especially when I'm working disconnected) is no fun at all. > On news postings I usually reply to, or forward, the article from the > group I posted to. > > When this hasn't happened (eg. because of slow mail delivery to gmane), > I have used the trick of adding a space and deleting a space, and saving > the article.
