[Roadsters] List changes

[Mark J. Bradakis]

In case you are wondering about that odd email welcoming you to a list
you already receive, I've switched datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net
from majordomo to mailman list management software.  Some things will
be different, some will be the same.  As before, if you want to send
mail to datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net you send mail to
datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net - you'd be surprised at how many folks
can NOT figure that one out!

With Mailman, managing your subscription should be more web friendly.
You can go to the web pages listed in the messages and muck about with
your settings. One major change is that there is now just the one list
datsun-roadsters at autox.team.net, the list
datsun-roadsters-digest at autox.team.net no longer exists. But this
doesn't mean there is no digest format, it just means that one doesn't
need to unsubscribe from one list and subscribe to the other just to
switch formats. Go to the list pages, log in, and select digest or
non-digest as you desire.

Another handy option is the 'nomail' feature.  If you are going to be
away from your email for a while, you can set your membership to
nomail, and then back to regular delivery upon your return.  A bit
easier than having to unsubscribe and then subscribe again.

A useful way to make use of the nomail feature is to enable submissions
from multiple addresses.  For example, one might want to subscribe
a-student at diploma.mill.edu as your main address.  But sometimes you
send mail from work, so you can subscribe busybee at monolith.com
and set the second address to nomail.  So messages you send from
either address will pass the membership test, but you won't get multiple
copies of each list message.

RealSoonNow I'll have a web page that covers some more of the various
differences and features.
