    | Isn't that something you should take up with your gateway operator?

    I'm the gateway operator in question. Now you know, Ed, that when I was
    getting news-as-mail from xenitec, I had several newsgroups all going
    to one mailbox at jpr.com. And now Brian gets several newsgroups from
    me, all to one Brian-address. (That is, he subscribes to five lists
    for five newsgroups, but all going to the same address.) I guess Brian
    might configure his MTA to show him Newsgroup Headers. :-)

    | Meanwhile, an appropriate entry in your .maildelivery file such as:
    | From kathrynb@oreilly.com destroy A -
    | should prevent all interesting O'Reilly book announcements from ever
    | annoying you again, while leaving them available for people who want
    | them.
