- WHAT IS A MAILING LIST
-
- Mailing lists are a method of electronic communication. The concept is that
- by mailing to one "person" a letter is distributed to many, many people with
- the one action. Replies to a "posting" are again distributed to many
- people. This allows many people to carry on a discussion on a particular
- subject matter. Mail lists are often used in place of BBS (Bulletin Board
- Systems) some popular or widely used mailing lists are often merged into a
- BBS.
