gmane and gmail

[Roy Lemmon]

I have recently subscribed to several mailing lists for Emacs, such as
help-gnu-emacs and emacs-devel. I have used my regular gmail email for
this. Not surprisingly, I get lots of emails in my inbox from these lists !

I am using gnus to both read my email (from Gmail) and also to subscribe to
and read these mailing lists via gmane. So I am getting the same mailing
list emails from gmane and also via my Gmail email.

How do people manage this ? In principle the Gmail emails are redundant as
I could do everything in gmane. Do you just accept both and filter, or is
there a way I can post and reply in gmane only and the mailing list doesn't
send to my gmail address ?

Thanks, Roy.

Choose one or the other, i.e. subscribe for email or read on gmane via
nntp. Not sure why you would want to do both.

I use gmane generally as nntp is much better for this.

Thanks Eric. What I have done is keep subscribed to the mailing list but
turned off sending email. I could do this in the mailman interface.

I agree gmane and nntp is better for the mailing lists.

Ideally, you wouldn't sign up to gmane with an email address, you would
just add the gmane NNTP server to your Gnus installation, and do
everything via NNTP.

BUT... the auto-authorization mechanism for gmane has been broken for a
while, so you wouldn't be able to post (unless you've authorized in the
past?).

So you're stuck posting via Gmail, and reading via... both. If you set
`gnus-suppress-duplicates' non-nil, then read the messages in one
interface, Gnus will automatically mark the messages read in the other.

But why not just set up a filter in Gmail? Put the messages in their own
folder, mark them read by default, or just delete them altogether.
