All commands should be put in the main body of your message, and not in the subject field. If you have already joined the list, and think your name may have been incorrectly registered, simply resend the 'join' command with the corrected form of your name. Your name and email address will still appear in the membership list. SPM list messages are archived. Each month's messages are grouped together in a file, maintained by Mailbase as searchable digests for a year.
Older archives are available for downloading.
The Web interface allows sorting by subject, thread or author within monthly digests. You can do this yourself, by leaving spm under your old address, and re-joining under the new one. When you send commands, such as 'leave' or 'suspend mail', to Mailbase, it uses your email address to recognise you. Other Commands Mailbase offers numerous facilities. A few are outlined here.
