From 3a258ad5cdd98c5705af6c02ba91993b3d382adc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:23:41 -0500 Subject: Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98 directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin repository. --- doc/mailman-member/node13.html | 182 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 182 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/mailman-member/node13.html (limited to 'doc/mailman-member/node13.html') diff --git a/doc/mailman-member/node13.html b/doc/mailman-member/node13.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..50b4cab5 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-member/node13.html @@ -0,0 +1,182 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +5.1 How do I join a list?

+5.1 How do I join a list? (subscribe) +

+ +

+There are two common ways you can subscribe to a Mailman mailing list. + +

+Using the web interface: + +

    +
  1. Go to the list information page for the list you want to join. + (This will probably be something like + http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME) +
    2. +
  2. Look for the section marked "Subscribing to LISTNAME" and fill in the + boxes. You can fill in the following: + +
      +
    • You must enter your email address. +
      • +
    • You may choose to supply your real name. +
      • +
    • You may choose a password. If you do not choose one, Mailman will + generate one for you. + +

      +Warning: +Do NOT use a valuable password, since this + password may be mailed to you in plain text. +

      • +
    • If the list supports more than one language, you may be able to + choose your preferred language. Note: +This setting does not affect + posts to the list, only pre-prepared Mailman texts such as your member + options page. + +
      • +
    +
    3. +
  3. Press the subscribe button. A new page should appear telling you + that your request has been sent. +
    4. +
+ +

+Using the email interface: + +

    +
  1. Open a mail program which sends mail from the address you want to + subscribe. +
    2. +
  2. Send a mail to the list subscription address, which will be in the + form . The subject and body + of the message will be ignored, so it doesn't matter what you put there. +
    3. +
+ +

+After following one of these sets of instructions (you don't need to do +both!), there are a few possible outcomes depending upon the settings for +that list. + +

+ +

+Once this is done, you will likely receive another message welcoming you to +the list. This message contains some useful information including your list +password and some quick links for changing your options, so you may want to +save it for later reference. + +

+Note: +Subscribing can be done in other ways as well. See +Appendix A for more advanced email subscribing commands. + +
