- While it's not a "direct" post to comp.text.tex, everything (yes, even the
- misdirected help and subscribes) posted to the e-mail address
- INFO-TeX@SHSU.BITNET or INFO-TeX@SHSU.edu get to comp.text.tex, in addition
- to the 500+ mail-based subscribers of INFO-TeX itself. Also, for sites
- which use a news reading client and are not an actual new site, there is a
- much higher probability that you will generate a mail-repliable posting
- since most sites tend to have properly configured mailers and tend to have
- a slightly wrong news client configuration in the dimension of generating
- proper mail addresses.
