22 I think it should be on the website page where it lists all the mailing
23 lists and should also be in the email where you confirm it. I know when
24 I first joined, I had to get someone to tell me how to make it send text
25 only. I didn't know either. No, I'm not a reformed windoze user
26 either. I have never had windoze. Started with Mandrake, got pissed at
27 the update process and been with Gentoo ever since. :-p

29 It may be common knowledge to some but not everybody. This was my first
30 mailing list to ever subscribe too.
