David,
It appears that you are using the email list just fine. If you are
subscribed to receive individual emails, make a folder under your inbox
named 'Elecraft' or something else you choose. Then create a filter to
automatically put all email having [Elecraft] in the subject line into
that folder.
As far as posting, "reply" goes only to the originator of the post,
'Reply All' goes to the list and the originator. If your email client
has a "Reply to List", that will go only to the list. If you do not
have that feature and wish to reply only to the list, use "Reply All"
and delete the original poster's email from the TO: list in your reply.
If I suspect that the poster receives only the digest format, I will
always do a "Reply All" if the matter is such that a quick answer is needed.
Yes, the N0SS signal tracing method is a good tool to have at your
disposal. I use that technique often even though I have several other
means of chasing down a problem, including an HP8640B signal generator
that is capable of "forcing a strong signal 'down the throat'" of the
most obstinate problem situation so I can view the progress through the
various stages with my 'scope.
One adapts his techniques to the tools available - better tools only
mean that one can isolate the problem more quickly, lesser tools can
also get to the root of the problem, but it takes more care and time.

Don, thanks so much for the help! I've learned a lot from reading your
responses.
I just checked RFC2, and it is indeed open. I'll get in touch with the parts
department.
On a side note, the signal tracing method that Tom recommended worked like a
champ. I used the N-generator for a signal source, and that made it very easy
to find out where the problem was originating. A great resource
troubleshooting problems!
I'm still not quite sure how to properly use the mailing list, though. I
guess I'll figure it out eventually. :)
