<p class="intro tPadding">W3C welcomes participation in W3C work through its many mailing lists.
See below for information about:</p>
<h2 id="general">General Information</h2>
<p>All mailing list administrative requests <em>must</em> be sent
to a <code>*-request</code> address (per <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2142.txt">RFC2142</a>),
<em>never</em> to the list itself. For a mailing list named
<code>list-name@w3.org</code>, the associated request address
would be <code>list-name-request@w3.org</code>.</p>
<p>The following are <strong>examples</strong> of how to determine the request form of a list:</p>
<div class="data">
<table><thead><tr><th>list name</th><th class="lastColumn">request address</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>
<code>www-html@w3.org</code>
</td><td class="lastColumn">
<code>www-html-request@w3.org</code>
</td></tr><tr><td>
<code>www-talk@w3.org</code>
</td><td class="lastColumn">
<code>www-talk-request@w3.org</code>
</td></tr><tr><td>
<code>html-tidy@w3.org</code>
</td><td class="lastColumn">
<code>html-tidy-request@w3.org</code>
</td></tr></tbody></table>
</div>
<h2>
<a name="subscribe" id="subscribe">Subscribing</a>
</h2>
<p>
<strong>Subscribe to the list</strong>. If you want to subscribe under a
different address, use a <code>Reply-To</code> header in the
message. Also, be sure you have read our <a href="http://www.w3.org/Mail/Spam.html">policy</a> for <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/">public mailing lists</a>
and our <a href="http://www.w3.org/2002/03/email_attachment_formats.html">Guidelines
for Email Attachment Formats</a> before subscribing.<br />
Example:<br />
</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">
To: www-talk-request@w3.org
Subject: subscribe
</pre>
<p>Note that you will not get an acknowledgement if you are
already subscribed.</p>
<p>Also note that W3C mailing lists do not currently support
a digest mode. RSS feeds are available, however.</p>
<h2 id="unsubscribe">Unsubscribing</h2>
<p>
<strong>Unsubscribe from the list</strong>. This can be done from an address
different from the one with which you subscribed.
For example, to unsubscribe from "www-talk@w3.org" use:<br />
</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">
To: www-talk-request@w3.org
Subject: unsubscribe
</pre>
<p>or</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">
From: new@example.org
To: www-talk-request@w3.org
Subject: unsubscribe old@example.org
</pre>
<p>Most (un)subscription requests are processed automatically
without human intervention. Do not send multiple (un)subscription
or info requests in one mail. Only one will be processed per
mail.</p>
<h2 id="help">Asking for Help</h2>
<p>
<em>Get information about the mailing list</em>.</p>
<p>The <code>*-request</code> server usually does quite a good
job in discriminating between (un)subscribe requests and messages
intended for the maintainer. If you for some reason would like to
make sure a human reads your message, make it look like a reply
(i.e. the first word in the "<tt>Subject:</tt>" field should be
"<tt>Re:</tt>", without the quotes of course); the
<code>*-request</code> server does <b>not</b> react to
replies.</p>
<h2 id="addr">Address Changes</h2>
<p>In the event of an address change, first send an
<strong>unsubscribe</strong> for the old address (this can be
done from the new address), and then a new
<strong>subscribe</strong> from the new address (the order is
important).</p>
