   Well, if I'm the David you are asking, to me it seems that the tile.net
service is a WWW browsable, hypertext database built from the LISTS GLOBAL
output. Each mailing list has an entry, listing certain stats on the list.
(The site's too busy to get through, so I can't be too specific.) It
includes, as hypertext links to mailto: URLs, the List Owner's address,
the mailing lists's address, and the LISTSERV address (with instructions
to send mail here with a body of SUB <listname> <yourname> to subscribe).
Thus, with most browsers, a user just selects the email address, fills in
the form the client presents, and the message is sent on its way.
