16.3 How do I subscribe/unsubscribe to these lists?

Send an email to list-request, that is:

The email must contain

subscribe your email address

in the subject of the message.

To unsubscribe

Send an email to list-request, that is:

The email must contain

unsubscribe your email address

in the subject of the message.

PLEASE: Never send subscribe/unsubscribe request to the mailing list directly! Use the list-request instead.

16.4 Is there a mailing list archive?

Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by Progressive Computer Concepts. The URL is: http://lists.kde.org.

How do I search it?

Point your browser at http://lists.kde.org/. There you will see a directory listing of the mailing lists. Note that you can only do a subject/author search at this level. You probably will not find what you want doing this kind of search.

To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists. Just click on the folder you want to search (e.g. "kde" or "kde-user") and then the pull-down menu by the search box will default to "Body" searches. To be thorough you should probably search the "kde", "kde-user" and "kde-devel" folders.

16.5 Is there a newsgroup about KDE?

Yes, there is! It's at: comp.windows.x.kde. In addition, there is also a German newsgroup at: de.alt.comp.kde. Please note that it is not a good idea to ask questions which are already answered in this FAQ.
