It exists a gateway that let's DEC people to read/ write to usenet using a GATEWAY (DECWRL). It just packs a bunch of messages together and forward it to DEC's subscribers as a single message. This doesn't mean you have to go throu every single line of it ! With a few single keystokes the cluster message may be reconfigured as many single messages on Vax-Mail format ! So, PLEEEeeaaaase, continue to post you messages has you've done till now: even on EASYNET (DEC internal network) we can afford with it ! Thanx for your efforts. marco
