I mean, is the mirroring one way or both-ways? The mirroring is one-way only. What I do in Thunderbird is to hit "Reply to All", delete the address lines beginning with "muc*" and add the address line "To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org". I believe you said you were using a browser, so I don't know if what I describe can be done through some web site. But it works fine for me in Thunderbird, and it will probably work fine in any other newsreader. -- Tore
