I'm sorry, I forgot to mention I'm not using Pine to view posts, I'm using Firefox. I turned off emails for new posts as this was getting me a WHOLE lot of emails and this ain't too cool with a dial-up connection. Also I didn't want to sort through all those emails when I could just open the page with Firefox when I want to see all the posts. I want to be able to see if there's a reply to my posts only with email notification, like with LinuxQuestions.org. Is this not possible?
Is Gmail usable over your connection? I point my subscription to Gmail and tell it to put all Fedora-list mails in a folder. Then I can use their interface to pick and choose which conversations to look at. (I do have Thunderbird set up to get mails from Gmail too, but only headers, the bodies aren't downloaded until I ask for them. That might still be quite slow over dialup though.) -- imalone
