Just a minor correction Markus, the xxx-request@yyy mailing list management
style is a fairly recent convention and not all mailing lists are managed this
way. With the 2 or 3 currently popular mailing list managers, I find it
annoying having to remember all the different subscribe/unsubscribe
techniques.
I recently embarrassed myself when I had to ask someone how to subscribe to a
majordomo mailing list! I couldn't remember! I do long for the simple
Listserv days :-)
