>> Is there a way to get related messages posted properly
Thanks. I tried the second method and it didn't work. I requested a
message and it was sent to me as an attachment. The address
automatically inserted was for the original sender not the mailing list
so I changed that to the mailing list, but, of course, my reply did not
get posted as a follow on to the message. I also checked the earlier
discussion you referenced which seemed to indicate that I should
subscribe to cygwin-allow. I tried that and received the following:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at sourceware.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<cygwin-allow@cygwin.com>:
ezmlm-manage: fatal: I don't accept messages at this address (inlocal
and/or inhost don't match) (#5.1.1)
--- Enclosed are the original headers of the message.
I guess this is why most of the postings aren't properly linked.
If I'm doing something wrong or there is anything else I should try I'd
be glad to hear of it.
