My apologies if this is the wrong newsgroup, but I don't know where to put
this...

I have a question about e-mail between Europe and North America.  Sometimes I
receive replies to postings of mine, in this group and others, from netters
in Europe (U.K and Finland, primarily).  I like to send some response back
to a correspondent, to let him/her know I got the mail even if I don't have
much to say in reply.

I've also heard that e-mail and these newsgroups are expensive for the
recipient in Europe.  So my question is:  should people in North America
send mail, general postings, etc. to Europeans if they're just a "Thank you
for your interest" sort of message?  Is it worth the money?
