OK, good news: your mailing list is ready to roll. Briefly (very), people you can subscribe to your list in mail mode by sending a message to mailto:PURDELL-L-request@rootsweb.com <mailto:PURDELL-L-request@rootsweb.com> that contains the word SUBSCRIBE and nothing else. If you prefer digest mode, you should send the command instead to mailto:PURDELL-D-request@rootsweb.com <mailto:PURDELL-D-request@rootsweb.com> . To unsubscribe, you should send the command "unsubscribe" to mailto:PURDELL-L-request@rootsweb.com <mailto:PURDELL-L-request@rootsweb.com> (if in mail mode) or mailto:PURDELL-D-request@rootsweb.com <mailto:PURDELL-D-request@rootsweb.com> (if in digest mode.)
