Mailing lists Here is a list of some active mailing lists:

texhax-l
texhax-l@jpnksci.bitnet

4tex
4tex@nic.surfnet.nl
You can subscribe to a mailing list by sending a message to the list server,
listserv@nic.surfnet.nl
or (if you know) where the list is maintained, e.g., listserv@frulm11.bitnet
. The
message should contain just one line:
subscribe tex-nl Foo Bar |
tex-nl@nic.surfnet.nl
, because this is the mailing list itself.
In that case your request would be distributed to all subscribers, which will not be
appreciated.
Once your request has been accepted you will receive an introductional greeting mail, explaining how to use the list.
To give you an impression of what kind of discussions you can expect on certain
mailing lists we have included messages from several lists on the second CD-rom
(directory \
DIGESTS
). Of course these can also be helpful in finding solutions to
problems you are having, and which have already been discussed (and hopefully
solved) on these lists.
