Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)
:
posting n. Noun corresp. to v. post (but note that post can be
nouned). Distinguished from a `letter' or ordinary email 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
email; perhaps the best dividing line is that if you don't know the
names of all the potential recipients, it is a posting.
The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)
:
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.
