Oh, thatʼs nice!  Please, do a favour.

Pardon me, if the reason behind my question was unobvious; here it is: I have no idea, to what extent you can be identified with Gmane, or, in other words, what access you have.

Perhaps, I also have to clarify, why this is not a very straightforward task: because non-affected groups may be contaminated by the affected ones (and vice versa), if the mail is crossposted.

For instance, I get the message below from [email protected] group, which is not affected by address munging, yet it had also been sent to [email protected], which (a) is affected, and (b) had won the race of delivering this message to Gmane.
