footnote: if you have no such server, things won't work.

for an excellent way to read the python mailing list via a news-
reader even if you don't have access to a "real" NNTP server,
see http://gmane.org/

(quick instructions: point the newsreader to "news.gmane.org",
and look for the group "gmane.comp.python.general".)
