Although, there probably are far better explanations of what a mailing lists is, we will attempt a very brief and simple description for those who are still wondering what a mailing list is. A mailing list is a software program that sits somewhere on a server. If someone then replies to a particular message, that reply will also generally be sent out to all subscribers of the list. Therefore, if you subscribed to the WebNet Mailing lists and then send a message to the list's email address, that message would be distributed to every who is subscribed to the list at the time. This way discussions can be held, somewhat similar to what happens on newsgroups.
Mailing lists exist for a variety of subject ranging from art to zoology and more.
Additional information on mailing lists and more mailing lists can be also found at the following sites. We have tried to test this program with every mailing list. However, it is possible that sometimes commands submitted with the Mailing List manager are not correctly understood by the mailing list they are sent to. Make sure to keep a copy of the welcome message and instructions that you usually will receive directly from the mailing list. That message will explain how to subscribe, unsubscribe and send other commands directly to the mailing list.
