I'm not a newsgroup expert by a long way ....

Do all newsgroups get picked up by all news servers?

I have a suspicion that they don't, meaning some people might not be able to
see any messages at all.

Have you tried using the maillist digest which packs all the messages up for
a day and sends one email.  You still have to hunt through a long email. The
down side is it then becomes more difficult to reply to messages.

Mailing lists are also good becuase you don't need web/news access, just an
email account.
For the die hard Euphoria heads the mailling list is perfect, for the casually
interested a newsgroup is better.
