    expressed a desire for a mailing list for discussions of issues
    related to managing Internet mailing lists, including (but not
    limited to) software, methods, mechanisms, techniques, and
    policies.

    I've created the list as "[e-mail]".
    That address is a direct mail relector: all messages sent to
    that address are immediately forwarded to the list.  There is a
    digestified version of the list available as "List-Managers-
    [e-mail]".  The digestified version has exactly
    the same messages as the direct version; the messages are
    simply bundled into digests daily (or more frequently, if
    traffic warrants).  Both lists are unmoderated.

    To join the List-Mangers mailing list, send the command

    subscribe list-managers

    in the body of a message to "[e-mail]".  If
    you want to subscribe something other than the account the
    mail is coming from, such a a local redistribution list, then
    append that address to the "subscribe" command; for example,
    to subscribe "local-list-managers":

    subscribe list-managers [e-mail]

    To subscribe to the digestified version, substitute "list-
    managers-digest" for "list-managers" in the examples above.
