I did some work early this morning on getting the Mail <-> News gateway
bi-directional, and it appears to work properly, from what I can tell.
Also, propogation of the newsgroups appears to be quite extensive, based
on checking the headers of random mesasges, a couple of which being:
Path:
hub.org!hub.org!news.maxwell.syr.edu!sunqbc.risq.qc.ca!wesley.videotron.net
!Pollux.Teleglobe.net!orion.cst.tpsa.pl!news.tpnet.pl!not-for-mail
Path:
hub.org!hub.org!newsfeed.direct.ca!su-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!news.gtei.net
!newsfeed.berkeley.edu!newsfeed.concentric.net!newshub1.home.com!news.home.com!ne
ws.rdc1.az.home.com.POSTED!not-for-mail
Hopefully this helps those that have, in the past, indicated a desire to
read via a normal newsreader :)
