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.
