|---|
| 6 | .B mailmaint |
|---|
| 7 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 8 | .I maintmaint |
|---|
| 9 | allows a user to examine public mailing lists and add or |
|---|
| 10 | remove him/herself from such lists. It does this using Moira, the Athena |
|---|
| 11 | Service Management System. |
|---|
| 12 | .PP |
|---|
| 13 | When started, it will display a menu with the following options: |
|---|
| 14 | .in +5 |
|---|
| 15 | .nf |
|---|
| 16 | 1. Show all mailing lists. |
|---|
| 17 | 2. Get all members of a mailing list. |
|---|
| 18 | 3. Display lists of which you are a member. |
|---|
| 19 | 4. Show description of list. |
|---|
| 20 | 5. Add yourself to a mailing list. |
|---|
| 21 | 6. Delete yourself from a mailing list. |
|---|
| 22 | .in -5 |
|---|
| 23 | .fi |
|---|
| 24 | .PP |
|---|
| 25 | The first option will display all mailing lists that are not |
|---|
| 26 | explicitly hidden. The second option will display the members of a |
|---|
| 27 | named list. The third will display the names of the lists you belong |
|---|
| 28 | to. The next option will give a description of any list that you |
|---|
| 29 | name. |
|---|
| 30 | .PP |
|---|
| 31 | The next two options allow you to add or delete yourself to or from |
|---|
| 32 | public mailing lists. If the person creating a mailing list has not |
|---|
| 33 | made it public, you will not be allowed to add yourself to it. Even if it is |
|---|
| 34 | public, you can only add or delete yourself, you cannot affect the |
|---|
| 35 | others on the list. For other list operations (which are only allowed |
|---|
| 36 | to the administrators of a list), see |
|---|
| 37 | .I listmaint(1). |
|---|
| 38 | .SH MENU OPERATION |
|---|
| 39 | The menu works in the following way: A list of possible choices is |
|---|
| 40 | presented, each preceded by a number. To make a choice, press the |
|---|
| 41 | number of the choice, which will then be highlighted. To confirm this |
|---|
| 42 | choice, press the return key. |
|---|
| 43 | .PP |
|---|
| 44 | If information is needed that cannot be entered via a menu (e.g. a |
|---|
| 45 | description of the mailing list's purpose and/or use), the user will be |
|---|
| 46 | prompted for such information. |
|---|
| 47 | .PP |
|---|
| 48 | Typing the interrupt character (normally Ctrl-C) |
|---|
| 49 | during a text input will cancel the operation and return to |
|---|
| 50 | the menu. |
