I guess you did the filter part, re-routing the mail to a
pseudo-newsgroup. Then, from the Yarn doc:
The mail filter allows you to automatically transfer messages
from a mailing list into a newsgroup. You can also set up Yarn
to send any posts you make to that newsgroup back to the mailing
list. For example, suppose you want to filter messages from the
Yarn mailing list into a newsgroup. Run the command
newgroup list.yarn 7 30 yarn-list@lists.colorado.edu
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
to create a newsgroup named list.yarn. Set up a mail filter
rule to move messages from the mailing list into the newsgroup.
Now when you post a message to the list.yarn newsgroup, it is
mailed to the list address yarn-list@lists.colorado.edu.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So, let's assume your mailing list has the following address:
and you filter it to the pseudo-newsgroup
list.maillist
In that case you use this command
newgroup list.maillist 7 30 mailing-list@somewhere.yonder
This way, pressing 'F' from within an article in the
pseudo-newsgroup will result in a mail reply to the mailing
list.
