Well, yeah!
The first time you post to a gmane group you get
a mail. You answer that mail, and then the post slips
thru. After that you don't have to do it again.
But add another group, and be a first-timer there, you
do the dance again. This sounds like tedious but it is
not because it takes just a few seconds each time and
then it is done.
So, I take it you are not using Gnus for mail as well
as for NNTP? Because if you had, the reply mails would
have been difficult to miss. I didn't think of this,
because obviously I use Gnus for everything :))
Speaking of Gnus and mail, does anyone know what
"nnml" stand for? I did Google that, but contrary to
Comrade Hume I didn't find an answer. Is it "Network
News Mail Layer"?
