Some people don't have news access (or need their daily email fix ...) so
the mailing list will stay much the same, with the news traffic sent to
the mailing list (and mailing list traffic will get posted into news).
If you have news acccess there is no strong reason to stay subscribed to
the djgpp mailing list (as a matter of fact, we strongly recommend you
unsubscribe when news is working to decrease the load on the clarkson
systems which kindly support this).

The djgpp-announce mailing list will not be affected by this change and
is used only for announcements.  This announcements will also appear on
the djgpp mailing list and in the newsgroup (via the gateway).

The gateway software will start running on delorie.com, but if mv's news
server runs behind (or DJ's link gets too loaded) we may move it.
