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 |
---|

---|

---|
