Difference Between Mailing List Newsgroup
Difference between mailing lists and newsgroups..?
Hi,
In general, when I browse homepage of a software, I find details of its mailing lists and newsgroups. What’s the conceptual difference between these and their usefulness?
Thanks
But you can configure, so that even news are delivered to you thru emails,right?
(Detail added after 1′st reply)
Things sent to a mailing list are distributed through email. Things sent to a newsgroup sit on the newsgroup server and wait to be read by news readers.
Its the difference between mailing your Christmas cards to your friends and family versus posting a Christmas poster in the local supermarket.
