Hi.  
Are there anyone using ruby-talk via Gmail?  
Is Gmail comfortable enough to post and receive messages in mailing  
list?  
Thank you.

I’m subscribed to the ruby-talk mailing list via my Gmail account, and  
both Gmail and I are extremely comfortable with the arrangement.

I use Google G. instead of Gmail. I just like to keep the mailing  
list separate from my regular e-mail.

Same here. Although I use a news access most of the time.

Yeah I’ve thought about that but I have my Gmail e-mail downloaded to  
my computer with Mail.app so I never need to go there anyways.

I use gmail, and created a filter that assigns all mail from the list  
a label and skips inbox. That way, I have all my email in one place,  
but the list doesn’t clutter my inbox.

BTW, the list is VERY active, so you’ll notice that if you don’t  
filter it somehow, you’ll end up with a monster of an inbox very  
quickly.
