The subject doesn't matter. The message body should read <tt/subscribe
|

isdn4linux <email address>/, where <email address> is the
|
||||
address to which mail from the list should be sent. To unsubscribe send a
|
||||
message with the body <tt/unsubscribe isdn4linux <email address>/ at the
|
||||
same address. Please note: there are about 20-50 messages per day on this
|

mailing list. To receive only one message per day, containing all postings,
|
||||
have a look at question

To subscribe to the mailing list, go to the web frontend at

submit the filled form. After that, you will <bf>not</bf> be subscribed yet.
|

Instead, you will receive a confirmation at the mail address you entered
|
||||
in the above form. This is a security precaution to prevent subscription
|
||||
by other persons or subscription of mistyped mail addresses. When you
|
||||
receive the confirmation, just follow the instructions in that mail.
|
||||
(I.e.: simply reply). After having replied, you will be subscribed and
|
||||
receive a welcome mail. The welcome mail will contain your password, so
|
||||
you should probably keep it just in case you want to unsubscribe or change
|
||||
some options at the web frontend.

To unsubscribe, go to the web frontend again, use your password to login

and then unsubscribe.

Subscribe to the mailing list as described in question

<ref id="docu_mailinglist" name="docu_mailinglist">, but as mailing list name

use <tt/isdn4linux-digest/ rather than <tt/isdn4linux/. So your message body

should read <tt/subscribe isdn4linux-digest <email address>/ for

subscription, and <tt/unsubscribe isdn4linux-digest <email address>/
|
||||
for unsubscription.
|

While filling the form as described in question
