I'm absolutely for sending out basic instructions and list-etiquette to all new subscribers. Jamin W.

Would it make sense to automatically send out a 'list-etiquette' message to each and everyone who subscribe to the list? Preferably in a different msg than the the subscription confirmation. Something like: ======================= Welcome, Please, do: a) Use descriptive subject lines (or your msg might get ignored) b) Trim your replies c) Use a relatively short .sig file d) Etc. Please, don't: a) Use HTML formatting (or your msg might get ignored) b) Setup your vacation messages so they end up on the list c) Etc. ======================= It's not the answer to every possible 'problem' on the list, far from that. But it could give a hint to new participants of how the majority of the list community would prefer it to be.
