Gateway operators will manage.  Syntax and semantics are
almost identical.  Mail2news (or v.v.) is typically used
for mailing list to newsgroup (or v.v.), and that limits
meaningful Expires: uses on both sides to "compatible".

Last time I checked it it was still alive and kicking, at
least the de.* part.  NANA* also still existed, but not
more what it used to be.  I read all mailing lists (incl.
this list) on a stand alone (= unrelated to Usenet) NNTP
server.
