Thanks for the info!

I wonder how many mailing list posters realize this. Do you have any
stats for the percentage of mailing list posts that don't make it to
comp.lang.ruby?

If it's common knowledge that one needs to post in text only, then I
don't mind letting the gateway act as a filter for those who can't
configure their mail client, but if the requirement is not widely
known, then I may be missing posts that I'd like to receive.

I personally much prefer usenet to mailing lists, so I'm reluctant to
switch to the mailing list for just this one group.

Also, do you have stats for the percent of messages originating from
usenet vs. from the mailing list?
