Hi, Marshall.

I am using Yarn95 (0.90) and Souper95 (1.5). I have my Yarn mailing
list messages set up similarly to yours, i.e. all of the Yarn list
messages get filtered to a pseudo-newsgroup (yarn.list). I have never
noticed a problem in sending messages to the list, with this setup.
However, for the sake of testing, let's see how this goes on my end.
I will send this article out via Souper95, and I will let you know how
it goes.

I hope that this will help.
