gnu-emacs-help news->mail gateway

[Glenn Morris]

The news->mail gateway for gnu-emacs-help (and most likely all lists)
seems down, again, at the moment. The direction mail->news seems to be
working ok.

I reported it to address@hidden and it will presumably be fixed, but I
wonder if it is time to deprecate the newsgroup interface in favour of
the mailing lists? It seems hard to keep the gateway operating reliably.
(It's already deprecated for bug reporting.)

Someone might like to check what % of posts to gnu.emacs.help were made
to the mailing list in the first instance.
