question about posting directly to gmane and not the list

Just trying to get this straight, so please forgive the OTness. But if I post a message to gmane.comp.python.wxpython instead of the mailing list, does everyone see it, even people who only get the list and not the newsgroup?

And is there anything special I need to set up for when they respond to my post? Or will their response get around to the mailing list as well? (Gmane says not to use a mailing list in the reply-to field, because if you do it will quietly suppress the post.)

Thanks.

p.s. this was sent to the newsgroup, not the list...anybody just on the list also seeing this? if so, maybe if you respond then i can see what happens next....

GMane is a mail/news gateway, so they handle sending new messages both ways through the gateway.

Thanks. It's slower than using the list directly, but at least now I won't lose my posts if I forget to send to the list instead of the ng! :slight_smile:
