Mailing lists are remarkably simple: you send a piece of e-mail to the list's address, and the list retransmits that message to everyone who is subscribed.
Every mailing list really has two addresses:
The list name, where posts should be sent
The list name followed by -request, where commands to subscribe and unsubscribe should be sent.
For example, posts to ROOTS-L should go to ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com while "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests should go to ROOTS-L-request@rootsweb.com.
How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe
It's easy -- just click on the list you want. When the "mail-to" window pops up, write just the single word "subscribe" in the body of the message. That's all.
If you want to unsubscribe from a list, click on it and write just the single word "unsubscribe" in the body of the message.
