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.

   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
