Netscape will work with LISTSERV. Commands issued through a web browser
always require confirmation due to excessive numbers of mischiefs per
unit of time. Yes, I realize you can do this with any TELNET utility or
(usually) by reconfiguring your mail program, but in practice people do
not call to complain about this. People who use a mail program regularly
are also much more likely to have typed a working e-mail address when
setting up their mail program than people who clicked on a 'mailto' tag
on a page they found on AltaVista and were suddenly asked to supply their
name and e-mail address. The latter are also very likely to have no idea
what "subscribing to a LISTSERV list" means and to end up demanding to be
taken off the list. As a rule, someone who doesn't know how to read or
reply to a mail message probably didn't mean to join the list.
