How about also sending a copy of the FAQ to new
subscribers? I know it's
not much (I swear I'll put time into updating it if I ever get some free
time) but it's something.
I'm not positive, but I don't believe
mailman will send an attachment to a
subscriber. I can include specific text, but the entire faq is a bit much to
stuff in the "welcome to the list" email. But, what I CAN do is include a
link to the faq in the new subscriber welcome message.
Can we also *please* have the following two in the welcome message:
1) This is an international list, so please don't start talking about
local (or country-wide) issues as though they affect all members.
2) Please state your location when offering anything for sale / free /
trade.
Those two really need beating into people with a big stick with
disturbing regularity :-)
