It seemed strange to me. Any comments? I believe that an article to be posted arriving at the moderator's mailbox containing a Newsgroups line showing multiple newsgroups is a request that the moderator cross-post the article when it is approved. This is not feasible with groups running as digests, as the entire digest probably should not be cross-posted. Also, one sometimes runs into a situation where the originator of the message has requested inappropriate groups in the header. Here, the moderator should use judgement, possibly mailing back to the originator an explanation of why one or more groups were not cross-posted. I don't think that people should multiple post themselves. Let the software work as designed. -- Ron Heiby heiby@cuae2.ATT.COM Moderator: mod.newprod & mod.os.unix AT&T-IS, /app/eng, Lisle, IL (312) 810-6109 "They are the best selling knives of its kind ever sold by us!"
