shortcuts, headers etc? current i am using thunderbird.

yes they are active, but if you are expecting highly technical
discussions, then no.

so sci.physics.relativity is almost as active as sci.physics, but
has more physics related content, whereas sci.physics is like...
2 guys running the whole show and its fun. you will understand
when you see.

*foundations is not really active, i thought it was from the
header count.

I use tin as is without any customization
It has internal help as well as man page that provides information about basic functions
