I think you may need the registered version for that.

I don't mind crossposting to two groups. But he posted in all of the following
groups :-

  povray.general
  povray.animations
  povray.binaries.animations
  povray.binaries.images
  povray.binaries.programming
  povray.binaries.scene-files
  povray.binaries.tutorials
  povray.binaries.utilities
  povray.bugreports
  povray.newusers
  povray.programming
  povray.text.scene-files
  povray.text.tutorials
  povray.windows

A person like this is not simply lacking in netiquette. He posted TWO (not one,
but TWO) messages in EACH of the above groups. This is an obvious attempt to
draw as much attention as possible to his particular problem, regardless of the
amount of time it cost other users of the server in reading his twenty-eight
messages.
