From the message headers on the comp.sys.sgi side, it appears that ucbvax is doing the list -> newsgroup forwarding. The info-iris maintainers at info-iris-request@vmb.brl.mil should know for sure. Personally, I wish mailing lists would go away and die. Messages posted via mailing lists lack the niceties that news provides such as including reference numbers for thread sorting and traversing. Now that NNTP has reduced news propagation delays, mailing lists have little reason to exist. -jim Jim Helman Department of Applied Physics Durand 012 Stanford University FAX: (415) 725-3377 (jim@KAOS.stanford.edu) Work: (415) 723-9127
