Only the owner of the list may see who is subscribed to the list. This is done to prevent the building of mailing lists from subscriber lists. The maximum size of a list is 200 subscribers unless otherwise arranged. Otherwise, the list will have to be recreated and all previous subscribers will have to resubscribe. However, the computer literacy skills of subscribers and the capabilities of the e-mail software they use may vary considerably.
Some colleges provide computer facilities for their students.
These facilities may have modem or direct campus network connections and the necessary software to allow students to access their e-mail. Printing facilities may or may not be available. Another limitation is what can be sent via e-mail. If a subscriber wishes to share such files with list members, the file will have to be e-mailed to each member individually as an attachment. Of course, the recipient's e-mail package must support attachments, and the recipient must have application software to handle the file.
