Hoping to kill several birds with one proverbial stone, and hoping the
request list server won't frag on this message.

Anyways I've noticed the ding-recent archive hasn't been updated, and I've
resorted to using Lars' ifi ftp site for a nndir newsgroup (finally
resorting to mailing to ding-request which didn't seem to work).  I didn't
see any listing of how I should make a subject or body line since according
to WWW, I just have to email to ding-request to be appended to the list.

I guess the overall volume has died down enough so POP3 won't drift around
for hours while I'm waiting to read email. =)  Has the US site for
ding-recent been shutdown or just a mail delivery problem?  (sorry to spam
but I don't know the email address of the maintainer for the recent and
list archive).

Uhm.  I can't seem to parse that paragraph.   

ding-request is just an alias for me.  I process the messages to that
address once in a while, which means that requests to be added/taken
off the list aren't acted upon at once.

Oops.  This was my fault; I got hung up on a Procmailism, namely that if
you deliver to a list of folders in one recipe, LASTFOLDER is set to the
first in the list, not the last.  What ever happened to "least surprise"?

Unfortunately, nobody told me about the problem until today so it didn't
get fixed until today.  Perhaps the archive group needs more explicit
documentation?

All of the articles are there; the problem was with the .overview file.
Everything should be back to normal.

Just a little problem.  Things are OK now.

That's me.  It does need to be put in the documentation somewhere, though.
