Re: Archives / News gateway

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 tomail a few months back for this reason). For example, I repliedyesterday to the
"orderby a XML column" message, and my reply came backto me (and is in the mail archives) but hasn't appeared in the
newsgroupversion(this is using a newsreader attached to news.postgresql.org - sothe google archive won't have it
either).Idon't know what (if anything) can be done about this -but if peopleare looking for answers on the newsgroups
theymay think we're beingunfriendly when they don't get an answer. 

    Yes, I have seen the same thing.  Marc wants to know if it shows in atNNTP server news.postgresql.org.  I just
attachedto it and can seemessages, so please verify the missing messages against that server andreport back.  Thanks.
