That's correct. In fact, it's running now, and I'm posting this message via
e-mail. The 'X-Nntp-Gateway' header of this message should say
X-Nntp-Gateway: lugnet.admin.general@lugnet.com

Yes, that's 100% possible. And probably pretty easy to do -- aside from the
configuration options and support issues. But there are additional issues
with digests -- people have to be smart enough to delete everything that
they're not replying to, and if digests aren't sent in a standard format,
people can't split the apart back into regular messages.
I'd rather not get into digests until after the more important parts of the
web site here are up and running. So maybe digests in December or something.
