9 Mailing list topics
</H1>
<P>
Some lists are set up so that different topics are handled by Mailman.
For example, the courses list on Linuxchix.org is a discussion list for
courses being run by linuxchix members, and often there are several courses
being run at the same time.
(eg: Networking for beginners, C programming, <SPAN CLASS="logo,LaTeX">L<SUP><SMALL>A</SMALL></SUP>T<SMALL>E</SMALL>X</SPAN> document mark up.)
Each of the courses being run is associated with a separate topic on the list so that people
can choose only to receive the course they want to take.
<P>
These
topics must be configured by the list administrator, but it is the
responsibility of each poster to make sure that their post is put with
the correct topic. Usually, this means adding a word or tag of some type to the
subject line (eg: [Networking] What type of cables do I need?) or making
sure the <span class="mailheader">Keywords:</span> line has the right information. (By default,
you can put a <span class="mailheader">Keywords:</span> section in the beginning of the body
of your message, but this can be configured by your list administrator.)
Note that these tags are case-insensitive.
