GMane: read mailing lists via news readers

this is a great find via the win-tech off topic mailing list:
subscribe to mailing lists - from your newsreader!
how? www.gmane.org   allows subscribing to a mailing list but instead of getting it by email - you get it via any NNTP reader. This is cool because now Instead of getting the win-tech-off-topic as emails in outlook I can read it through outlook express or 40tude dialog (my favorite news agent) using the address:
I use the gmane news server: news.gmane.org
then I subscribe to the group: gmane.comp.windows.off-topic
also - for the Nunit developers mailing list:  gmane.comp.windows.dotnet.nunit.deve
 
do you want a mailing list that is not there? simply add it to gmane and subscribe to it via news reader. very cool. very nice.
