mailing list threading preservation?

Do the mail-to-news and news-to-mail interfaces that come with sn 
preserve message threading? That is, will mailing list replies (that 
originate as follow-ups to articles in the sitewide newsgroup of that 
mailing list) show up as likewise replies to that original mailing list 
post when other people on the mailing list view them in a threaded mail 
client?

Yes. Threading is done based on the message headers, so it has nothing to
do with the mail or news server in use. If the headers are correct, the
messages will be properly threaded.

calling snstore from .forward under sendmail

snstore wants to be news.news, but if I call it from user bob's .forward 
file, sendmail forces it to run as bob.bob. How do people use sn's 
mail-to-news with sendmail then?
