Whatever this is, can we get rid of it?

Sounds like something's wrong with your news reader.

But it only happens on these messages that come "via Digitamars-d," and  
consistently so. What could be the difference.

I've used this newsreader for years (opera), never had this problem.

Opera on windows does not suffer from the same issue.  I see no delays for  
these messages..

Its not the client, its happening on the web interface as well.
Most notably for Manu's posts.

I noticed for a while now that Manu's posts are very large, even though there 
aren't that many lines of text in them. Examining the posting source shows that 
the content of Manu's posts are repeated, once in HTML and once in plain text.

Perhaps the delay is because your newsreader is trying to load an HTML
rendering 
engine for Manu's posts, which it would not for regular text ones.

I still haven't worked out how to even use a newsreader with the 
ntp server. I'm still relying on the web interface. So I'm 
definitely not alone in seeing this one.

Thunderbird is a very good newsreader. A lot of folks here use it.

I tried it for a bit. Couldn't get used to it. It just felt like an
inconvenience.
I'm sure it's great, it's just unfamiliar to me, and it feels a bit
over-kill installing a whole big software package for no reason other
than reading one mailing list.

I like gmail. I've been using it for the better part of 10 years, and
I can access it from anywhere. Installing client software to read
email feels like I'm back on my Amiga in the 90's ;)

Congrats on fixing it so it doesn't send the html version! This is much better.

Yeah sorry. I could never tell the difference. Since it's not a full
client, it doesn't have features like raw-view or anything.

I feel quite the opposite. Recently my email provider lured me
into some paid option by cleverly placing a "buy" option right
after the login where you expect some "inbox" button.
With a client software you know what you have. Things don't
unexpectedly change. You can have your messages on your
computer and don't depend on internet and server uptime.
Well, I'd say that about any cloud service I guess.

If posts actually contain something that cannot be represented
in plain text I don't mind some HTML. All posts load quickly
in Claws Mail anyways, regardless of mime-type. It's just not
so exciting to view the very same text message with a
non-default font. :p

I've actually attempted at it, but I'm a little bit newbyish with 
newsgroups. Really could use a proper tutorial on this subject.

another side-effect: no threading is occurring on d.bugs on my newsreader.  
It used to thread these messages properly.

For some reason, the long pauses have gone away.

Also, I don't think the "From" field is the right place for the 
information of where the message was sent from.
