Hmm, I have about seven Threads started by him with "Re: [gentoo-user] Is 
there a way...". The other of his respsonses, which do not start a new 
thread, have this own posts as reference, not the one he is actually 
replying to. All references look like <bcMnF-3fg-13@×××××××××××××.it>, 
seems like the mail-to-usenet gateway changes them.
Couldn't he just reply with his usenet client, and the gateway would 
convert things back so it shows up correctly on the list?

I agree it's a little annoying, but as long as it's just him and only 
occasionally, I don't mind.
