Do NOT use solid capital letters. Internet users interpret that as shouting. Top of this Page 2. Mailing Lists Internet mailing lists consist of discussions carried on by E-mail in view of all subscribers to the list. Software at the server hosting the list handles subscriptions and distribution of messages automatically.
Some lists have a moderator who screens all messages before they are distributed.
All lists have one or more owners who may remove subscribers who do not adhere to the protocol for that list. Lists are organized around topics that may be very narrow, or quite broad. Be sure to become familiar with the nature of list discussions and the permissible topics before posting a message of your own. To subscribe you send an E-mail message to the server for the list with the appropriate instructions for adding you to the list. For example, if you are going to be away for a while, you may want to suspend your subscription so that your mailbox does not fill up.
