There are a couple of conventions, but it appears that few people follow them these days. The ones I've noticed that are somewhat common are: 1) Moderated mailing lists end in "-M" (e.g. "BLUES-M"). Generally this is used to distinguish two mailing lists with a similar function, one of which is moderated and the other of which is not. 2) Mailing lists end in "-L" (e.g. "JAZZ-L"). This convention allows users to identify mailing list mail relatively easily. (One could have a Eudora filter, for instance, that filters mail with "-L@" in the header into a special 'mailing lists' folder.) Generally, it's nice to have a name that will be readily recognizable as coming from a mailing list. Also, it's good to have a fairly short name--because you'll have to type it in every time you issue a command relating to the mailing list. -jwgh
