Thanks John for all your work on Csound and now for hosting the
mailing list.

What are the subscribe / unsubscribe details?

Currently the Csound Front Page:

  http://mitpress.mit.edu/e-books/csound/frontpage.html

has details for the old list.


I think it is a good idea to have a footer on each item the list mails
out listing how to unsubscribe and where archives and further
information can be found.  Also, I think it is a good idea to have a
distinctive prefix on all mailing lists, such as:

  [CSND]

It needs to be brief, and best in upper-case and square brackets. 
This assists people like me who see all their emails, including those
from twenty or thirty lists, in their email client's In box.  I use
Netscape and have extensive filtering to move incoming list messages
into their mailboxs.  It is highly convenient to see all incoming
messages still in the In box even though they have been sorted and
moved to their various list boxes.  (They are flagged that this has
been done, and compacting the folder takes them out of the In box.)

Seeing something like [CSND] or similar helps me browse the emails,
and is especially valuable if there is a non-descript subject line
from someone I don't recognise as being a Csound list member.
