I'll agree, this is excellent advise. However, I use game.org to read |
| 21 |
and post to gentoo-user. So how do you attached a txt file to |
| 22 |
those postings via gmane? Options to get the txt file attachemnent into the |
| 23 |
proper record? |

Gmane refuses to post long replies. Gmane allows one to read and post |
| 26 |
from a variety of machines, particularly useful when one locks up |
| 27 |
one's main workstation, which I have done of several occasions, and have |
| 28 |
to use gmane to recover with the aid of the gentoo-user list: |
