I think it should be on the website page where it lists all the mailing lists and should also be in the email where you confirm it. I know when I first joined, I had to get someone to tell me how to make it send text only. I didn't know either. No, I'm not a reformed windoze user either. I have never had windoze. Started with Mandrake, got pissed at the update process and been with Gentoo ever since. :-p It may be common knowledge to some but not everybody. This was my first mailing list to ever subscribe too. Dale :-) :-)
