About Mailing Lists

Mailing lists are remarkably simple beasties: you send a piece of e-mail to the
list's address, and the list retransmits that message to everyone who is
subscribed. 

All Lists Have Two Addresses

Every mailing list really has two addresses: the list name, where posts should
be sent, and the list name followed by -request, where commands to the
listserver software should be sent. For example, posts to ROOTS-L should go to
[email protected] while "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests should go to
[email protected]. 

List Modes Affect How You Receive Posts

Mailing lists can operate in any of three modes: 

MAIL mode, where every post is sent to subscribers as a separate piece of
e-mail. MAIL mode requires a great deal of effort by the listserving computer.
MAIL mode lists are often named listname-M. 

DIGEST mode, where about twenty posts are batched together and then sent to the
subscribers. Digests produce less clutter in your mailbox, but replying to an
individual message may require a little extra effort. Digest mode lists are
often named listname-D. 

INDEX mode, where a list of the Subject: and From: lines for each post is sent
daily to the subscribers. Subscribers can then request only the messages they
want to see. INDEX mode lists are often named listname-I. 

Besides those lists, the default mode for a list is sometimes called listname-L.
For example, the default mode of ROOTS-L is DIGEST, so ROOTS-L really is three
lists: ROOTS-L, ROOTS-M, and ROOTS-I. 

Be aware, though, that many lists (especially small ones) do not adhere to these
conventions. 

How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe

Every mailing list really has two addresses: the list name, where posts should
be sent, and the list name followed by -request, where commands to the
listserver software should be sent. For example, posts to ROOTS-L should go to
[email protected] while "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests should go to
[email protected].
