GTK -- Mailing List Information

### Mailing List Information

There is a gtk-list archive for you to read through.

There is also a discuss archive available at http://www.mit.edu:8008/bloom-picayune/gtk/. Honestly I don't know what discuss is, but if you have access to it you may be interested to know that the discuss archive for gtk is availiable at bloom-picayune:/usr/spool/discuss/gtk.

This is what you get back when you send "help" in the subject line to gtk-list-request@redhat.com. Placed here for your reference.

    			General info
    			------------
    Subcription/unsubscription/info requests should always be sent to the -request
    address of a mailinglist.
    If a mailinglist for example is called "thelist@some.domain", then the -request
    address can be inferred from this to be: "thelist-request@some.domain".

    To subscribe to a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word "subscribe"
    in the Subject: field to the -request address of that list.

    To unsubscribe from a mailinglist, simply send a message with the word (you
    guessed it :-) "unsubscribe" in the Subject: field to the -request address of
    that list.

    In the event of an address change, it would probably be the wisest to first
    send an unsubscribe for the old address (this can be done from the new
    address), and then a new subscribe to the new address (the order is important).

    Most (un)subscription requests are processed automatically without human
    intervention.

    Do not send multiple (un)subscription or info requests in one mail.  Only one
    will be processed per mail.

    NOTE: The -request server usually does quite a good job in discriminating
          between (un)subscribe requests and messages intended for the maintainer.
          If you'd like to make sure a human reads your message, make it look
          like a reply (i.e. the first word in the Subject: field should be "Re:",
          without the quotes of course); the -request server does not react to
          replies.

    			The archive server
    			------------------
    Every submission sent to this list is archived.	 The size of the archive
    depends on the limits set by the list maintainer (it is very well possible
    that only, say, the last two mails sent to the list are still archived, the
    rest might have expired).

    You can look at the header of every mail coming from this list to see
    under what name it has been archived.  The X-Mailing-List: field contains
    the mailaddress of the list and the file in which this submission was
    archived.

    If you want to access this archive, you have to send mails to the -request
    address with the word "archive" as the first word of your Subject:.
    To get you started try sending a mail to the -request address with
    the following:
    		Subject: archive help
