Subject: [Formula-ford] List changes

In case you are wondering about that odd email welcoming you to a list
you already receive, I've switched formula-ford at autox.team.net from
majordomo to mailman list management software.   Some things will be
different, some will be the same.  As before, if you want to send mail
to formula-ford at autox.team.net you send mail to formula-ford at autox.team.net
- you'd be surprised at how many folks can NOT figure that one out!
Of course, it is pretty rare for anyone to send mail to this list, so
it goes.

With Mailman, managing your subscription should be more web friendly.
You can go to the web pages listed in the messages and muck about with
your settings.  You may want to set your delivery option to digest form,
to assist in handling the onslaught of messages this list produces.
The digest is a single message sent out daily as a collection of
all the days messages.

Another handy option is the 'nomail' feature.  If you are going to be away
from your email for a while, you can set your membership to nomail, and
then back to regular delivery upon your return.  A bit easier than having
to unsubscribe and then subscribe again.

A useful way to make use of the nomail feature is to enable submissions
from multiple addresses.  For example, one might want to subscribe
a-student at diploma.mill.edu as your main address.  But sometimes you
send mail from work, so you can subscribe busybee at monolith.com
and set the second address to nomail.  So messages you send from
either address will pass the membership test, but you won't get multiple
copies of each list message.
