Revision 23740, 2.3 KB checked in by broder, 16 years ago (diff)
In moira: * New CVS snapshot (Trac: #195) * Drop patches that have been incorporated upstream. * Update to build without krb4 on systems that no longer have it. This doesn't build yet on squeeze, which lacks a krb4 library, but I'm committing now before I start hacking away at a patch to fix that.

24.PP
25The first option will display all mailing lists that are not
26explicitly hidden.  The second option will display the members of a
27named list.  The third will display the names of the lists you belong
28to.  The next option will give a description of any list that you
29name.
30.PP
31The next two options allow you to add or delete yourself to or from
32public mailing lists.  If the person creating a mailing list has not
33made it public, you will not be allowed to add yourself to it.  Even if it is
34public, you can only add or delete yourself, you cannot affect the
35others on the list.  For other list operations (which are only allowed
36to the administrators of a list), see
37.I listmaint(1).
38.SH MENU OPERATION
39The menu works in the following way:  A list of possible choices is
40presented, each preceded by a number.  To make a choice, press the
41number of the choice, which will then be highlighted.  To confirm this
42choice, press the return key.
43.PP
44If information is needed that cannot be entered via a menu (e.g. a
45description of the mailing list's purpose and/or use), the user will be
46prompted for such information.
