posting
     
        A message sent to a {newsgroup} or {mailing list} (may also be
        called "a post") or the act of sending it.  Distinguished from
        a "letter" or ordinary {electronic mail} message by the fact
        that it is broadcast rather than point-to-point.  It is not
        clear whether messages sent to a small mailing list are
        postings or e-mail; perhaps the best dividing line is that if
        you don't know the names of all the potential recipients, it
        is a posting.
