The browser I use prepends partial URLs with http://www when what you 
type does not get resolved, and my newsreader does not render that 
partial URL as a link.  I guess that's not true of everyone's toolset!

So, consider:

In all three cases, don't forget to forward the e-mail to the list server
if you want everyone to see it.  If you choose the first (which I
personally find most convenient), there are free NNTP servers like this
one: eternal-september.org

​I think this list is "all or nothing". You cannot receive only messages which ​you yourself posted and their replies (i.e. a 
"thread"). You can do a "digest" - all emails for the day, sent at the end of the day; "normal" - receive 
individual messages during the day; "nomail" - don't receive any messages at all (like ur on vacation). I don't know of any 
mailing list which has a "solicited only" (threads in which I participated) selection. I can envision setting up such a thing, 
but I don't think anyone has.

As an aside, this might be considered a bit "silly". Supposed everybody set such an option? The discussion 
would be very limited because nobody would ever receive an original email. Some might even consider it to be a bit 
"rude" - "I can talk to you at any time, but don't talk to me without my permission." . I'm sure 
that's not your intent. I wanted something like this way back when too. Now, I just use a gmail account which I access 
via http://mail.google.com instead of "local delivery".
