Subscribing to a Mailing List
•You will receive a message confirming your membership
in the list once the list server has accepted and processed your
subscription request.
•You should keep the confirmation
message in a safe
place because it contains information about how to leave the mailing
list, special features, etc.
•On high-volume lists, the list server might send you a confirmation message that you must return so it can confirm your e-mail address.
