This is a reminder that NetBSD mailing lists are open to the general
public, and a short explanation of the commands used to access
the lists.

The NetBSD mailing lists may be accessed by sending mail to:

	majordomo@NetBSD.ORG

Commands for majordomo MUST be in the body of the message; commands
in the Subject line or elsewhere in the headers are ignored.

Some of the known commands:

	help
	    Retrieve a list of majordomo's commands.

	lists
	    Show the lists managed by the NetBSD majordomo.

	info <list>
	    Retrieve the general introductory information for the
	    named list.

	subscribe <list> [<address>]
	    Subscribe to the named list, using the named address (if
	    an address is given).  If no address is specified,
	    majordomo will figure out your return address from
	    your e-mail headers.

	    It is recommended that new users not subscribe themselves to
	    a large number of the available mailing lists.  Instead, they
	    should subscribe to one or two to begin with, and add more
	    as their interest grows.

	unsubscribe <list> [<address>]
	    Unsubscribe the named address from the named list.  If
	    no address is specified, majordomo will determine
	    the address to unsubscribe by looking at your mail headers.

	which [<address>]
	    Find out which mailing lists the specified address (or your
	    return address, if none is specified) is subscribed to.
	    'which' will list all addresses which contain a substring
	    that matches the address or string given.
