ARCHIVED: Can I read Usenet newsgroups via electronic mail?

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

Most Usenet newsgroups do not correspond to any mailing list, so you will not be able to read them via email. However, some newsgroups are forwarded via a gateway to mailing lists. You can find more information about gateway newsgroups at:

If you are unsure about whether a Usenet newsgroup is being forwarded to a mailing list, you can consult the FAQ for that newsgroup, or post a message to the newsgroup asking for further information.
