I use C-u a on those groups. Since a mail to the mailing list address is just like a posting to a newsgroup,=B9 `a' is obviously the right key, isn't it? kai =B9 Only the transfer protocol is different. But the point is: `a' is for group messages, `m' is for messages to individual people. But for nndiary, `a' would be for 1 person, which is not quite a group. Hm.
