address to which mail from the list should be sent. To unsubscribe send a
message with the body <tt/unsubscribe isdn4linux &lt;email address&gt;/ at the

by other persons or subscription of mistyped mail addresses. When you
receive the confirmation, just follow the instructions in that mail.

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.

isdn4linux (only one message per day)?
<label id="docu_maillistdigest">
<p>
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 &lt;email address&gt;/ for
subscription, and <tt/unsubscribe isdn4linux-digest &lt;email address&gt;/
for unsubscription.
While filling the form as described in question
<ref id="docu_mailinglist" name="docu_mailinglist">, simply click "Yes"
at the radio-button, named "Would you like to receive list mail batched
in a daily digest". You can change this option later when logging in
the web frontend.
