I much prefer gmane over a web browser for lists and so forth, but  
large posts fail to this particular list. small posts work fine 100%  
of the time. Just thought that I’d mention it.

Maybe it’s more widespread and is a google groups issue across all e-  
mail lists when using gmane? the folks at gmane.discuss say  
everything’s fine with gmane. oh, gmane means \<[http://www.gmane.org/](http://www.gmane.org/)

> , which is a very neat e-mail to nntp gateway, by the way.
