I am sorry, if I am asking a stupid question. I am new to this mailing list, just subscribed yesterday... I did not know about the news server being available until I read this thread...
I'd really prefer to use a news reader over receiving e-mails, if possible...
So, I went to news.postgresql.org and subscribed to com.databases.postgres.general (is it the right one?). Somehow, the messages I see there are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than what I received by mail (what's in mail is not in the news, and what's in the news is not in the mail)...
Am I just looking at a wrong server/group? Or am I missing something else here?

I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thank you very much!

Hi all,

I've noticed, when using google to look through the newsgroup archives,
that the news gateway still seems unreliable. (I switched from news to
mail a few months back for this reason). For example, I replied
yesterday to the "order by a XML column" message, and my reply came back
to me (and is in the mail archives) but hasn't appeared in the newsgroup
version (this is using a newsreader attached to news.postgresql.org - so
the google archive won't have it either).

I don't know what (if anything) can be done about this -but if people
are looking for answers on the newsgroups they may think we're being
unfriendly when they don't get an answer.


Yes, I have seen the same thing.  Marc wants to know if it shows in at
NNTP server news.postgresql.org.  I just attached to it and can see
messages, so please verify the missing messages against that server and
report back.  Thanks.
