The Prostatitis Mailing List is software that allows you to receive and post to the sci.med.prostate.prostatitis newsgroup via e-mail. The list is one of several medical lists provided as a free service by St. John's University.
Some people prefer newsgroup reader access while others prefer e-mail access.
Digests are posted to your e-mail account which means you don't have to worry about losing postings if away from your computer for a few days. When you subscribe you will receive initial messages from the list explaining how it works and how you can change various subscription options. As each message is received by the list it is added to the digest for the day. This digest is then sent to your e-mail address. If posting volume is high then more than one daily digest will be sent.
