I guess that means it's time to point out, to everyone not clued into the
fact, this nifty little feature of any good mailing list server called the
HELP command. If you send an e-mail with only the text "help" (without the
quote marks) in it to <shadowrn-request@*********.com> you get a list of
all the commands sent to you. That way, you can change all kinds of
settings without having to go to the WWW page
(http://lists.dumpshock.com/shadowrn).

This also works on all other listserver software I have experience with,
though of course the address to send the commands to will be different
from that above. And please note that the address for sending commands to,
is in the vast majority of cases different from the address of the actual
mailing list...

This has been a public service announcement.
