This is OT but important enough to mention once at least. You say you
are using Gmane at home. Are you *posting* to this List from Gmane, and
if so are you using 'Archive: encrypt' as a custom header in your
newsreader settings? If not you may be leaving yourself open to spamming
and address harvesting. Pls go to Gmane and read FAQs about how to
practice safe "Gmane'ing".
