You might want to take a look at the LISTSERV(R) List Owners manual at http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/owner/owner.html The second chapter, "Starting a Mailing List -- The Basics" has some good information. It is specific to LISTSERV(R) of course, but some of it is general and may be a good starting point. (Note that I do work for L-Soft, so perhaps I'm biased, but I really do think LISTSERV is the best list software around :-) Francoise
