Networking via e-mail / Linda Q. Thede

Electronic mailing lists, sometimes called Listservs, after the original program that made them possible, comprise a network of people interested in a given topic who share questions, answers, and thoughts about the topic via e-mail. This is made possible by the use of special software on a server that accepts e-mail messages and sends them on to those who subscribe to the list. Subscriptions are free and open to anyone interested in the topic of the list. The options available, known as preferences (eg, having all messages for each day sent separately or in a batch of unsubscribing) are determined by the program used to administer the mailing list.
