           Summary: wine mailing-list <-> usenet gateway non-functional?
           Product: WineHQ.com
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: misc-web
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org

Hi,

I believe the gateway between
 usenet:comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine
 <-> wine-users mailing list
is subtly broken.

http://www.winehq.com/site/forums says:
"This newsgroup is connected to the Wine-Users mailing list".
Yet messages appear in one or the other.

An example: the thread "suse 10.1 amd64 wine 9.19 dont create .wine"
appears in Google (5 messages)
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/browse_thread/...
as well as my local newsserver (4 messages), but there's nothing like this in
the archives:
http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2006-August/thread.html

OTOH, the thread "bug 4794: Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds & Wine 0.9.19"
is in the August archives, but nothing in Google nor at my site.

The message "PTgui.exe runs fine on one Kubuntu 6.0.6 pc but not on another"
appears once in the September archives, but there's a thread with 5 messages in
Usenet.  Actually, it looks like the initial message was posted independently to
the list (by Harry vad der Wolf) and to usenet (surfer63 pseudonym, but same
content).

There are many other cases like these. I just choose them randomly.

I'd very much appreciate a functional gateway.  I tend to prefer newsgroups for
asking help here and there because they don't require me going to a subscribe /
confirm (+ unsubscribe some time later) cycle.

Regards,
 Jorg Hohle
