This is a request for you to implement support for the List- header
fields defined in RFC2369. This will make mail list access easier for
your users.
<ftp://nis.nsf.net//internet/documents/rfc/rfc2369.txt>
The List- fields provide you with a standard method by which you can
consistently describe your mailing lists' command syntax so that client
applications can implement an interface to make list access easier for
users.
As they are adopted and supported by email software developers, the List
header fields will make it easier for users to interact with email
lists.
The currently defined fields are List-Subscribe, List-Unsubscribe,
List-Help, List-Post, List-Owner and List-Archive. They describe
commands for subscribing, unsubscribing, retrieving help information,
posting to the list, contacting a human administrator and accessing
message archives.
As an example, for the list-managers list, the fields could be something like:
List-Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?
Body=subscribe%20list-managers>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?
Body=unsubscribe%20list-managers>
List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Owner: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Archive: <http://www.greatcircle.com/list-managers/archive.html>,
<ftp://ftp.greatcircle.com/pub/list-managers/archive/>,
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=index%20list-managers>
Implementation guidelines for list managers and administrators are
available at:

A mailing list for discussion is available at:
