Mailing lists

Mailing lists are arguably a form of electronic publication. The Mailbase web server maintains a page of useful resources about electronic mailing lists, including a directory of scholarly electronic conferences.

Automatic mailing lists are all broadly the same in their functions. If you need help on how to use them, try sending a message containing only the word `help' to the subscription address (a rather pathetic plea helppppp, but it usually works). Further guidance is available on the web, or by sending the one-line message GET MAILSER CMD NETTRAIN F=MAIL to listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu.
