[R] test

[Keith Jewell]

Hi Everyone,

As I expected, posting via the news.gmane.org newsserver with a spam-trap 
e-mail address (see below) didn't work.

I think this post, with my real e-mail address, should work. If so, please 
accept the apology below!

If it does work I'll also find out if the e-mail address obfuscation of 
gmane works.

Best regards,

Keith Jewell
--------------------------------------
Sorry to burden the list with a test message (if it gets through!), but at 
least this is an existing thread called "test".

I read the list via a Usenet newsreader (Microsoft Outlook Express) and 
news.gmane.org (power to their elbow), but in the past have posted messages 
via e-mail.

This message is posted from the newsreader and I suspect it will fail 
because I'm using a bogus, spam-trap, e-mail address. If you see this 
message you'll know that such spam-trap addresses work with gmane!

Best regards
