>
>   - How do I subscribe or unsubscribe to this mailing list?
>     It is very simple. Just send a message to majordomo@rapid.lpt.fi. The
message
>     should contain the line "subscribe rp-ml" or "unsubscribe rp-ml",
>     optionally followed  by your e-mail address, eg.
>     "unsubscribe rp-ml me@here".
>
>   - How do I send messages to this mailing list?
>     Again, it is very simple. Just send a message to rp-ml@rapid.lpt.fi
>     Every individual in the mailing list will receive a copy of the
message.

list

information

new

>
>     This means NOT simply using the "reply" feature in your e-mail
program,

>     As the questioner, if you do receive replies directly, then it is good
