Hi,
Forgive me - I think this was asked already, but I can't find an answer in the archives. If a member chooses to read the WikiEN-l list as e-mail, and another member reads it as a newsgroup, if the newsgroup reader replies to the newsgroup, will the e-mail reader get the reply too?
As Ever,

Hi.
Thanks for running the test, but the answer really isn't up to me.
- Although I am an administrator of wikiEN-l I don't make policy. I only
carry out the will of the group.
So it is up to you, the group. Are there any formal objections against adding wikiEN-l to gmane.org?
If you have not seen the postings about this at wikitech-l, please read these; http://www.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2002-December/001621.html
It will give to who are interested a better way of reading and using the lists of wikipedia. But it will not change anything to the current list or the way users use it. There are not disadvantages. Modderation or not makes not difference about this.
No responds = no objection
See Wikitech-l for a example http://www.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Thus I cast off the spell of virtual reality and return the real world.

Yes
Actualy , if a newsgroup reader replies to the newsgroup gmane.org will forward it to the list posting email adress. That is all.
The only thing you will notice is that all email adresses on the postings that gone by the newsgroep are changed.
My email adress is ; giskart@wikipedia.be Gmane change it to something like: giskart=hi6Y0CQ0nG0@public.gmane.org
That strange adress is a working adress. If you send a message to it you will recieve the first time a autoresponds to confirm that you exist and are not a spammer. The newsgroup can also be created whitout this anti-spam protection, be it think it is a very good option.
Greetings, Giskart
