You may unsubscribe with `+unsubscribe`. +You may post new threads to this list by writing to the address with no `+` +command. + +# Dashboard + +Your [dashboard](https://lists.sr.ht) shows you recent emails on mailing lists +you're subscribed to. You can reply to one by clicking the author's name, or +view the thread by clicking the subject. + +# Profile + +Your public profile page shows a feed of emails authored by you, as well as a +list of mailing lists you administrate. Like the dashboard, emails can be +replied to by clicking the authors name and you can view the thread by clicking +the subject. + +# Archive + +Each list shows a list of archives, sorted by which has seen the most recent +activity. In each thread's heading, you can see the number of participants, +number of replies, and subject of the initial message. Click the subject to see +the full thread. + +# Threads + +Email threads can become trees as participants reply to different messages. In +the simple case of a linear thread, you will see replies written linearly. +However, if a thread becomes split, you may see several linear trees of +discussion form. + +To reply to a message, click the author's name. + +# List Administration + +List access controls are available on your list settings, which can be accessed +with the "List settings" button on the list archive. The controls are +fine-grained enough to support many access scenarios, here are some examples: + +## Announcement lists + +A list that only you can write to is useful for announcements. Remove all user's +"post" and "reply" permissions to prevent them from submitting - owners are +always able to post. You can optionally leave the "reply" permission enabled to +allow people to respond to announcements, but be aware that their responses will +be sent out to all subscribers, which is usually undesirable for low-volume +announcement lists. + +## Write-only security lists + +If you want a mailing list where people can write to you about security +vulnerabilities in your software, you can remove the "browse" permission without +removing the "post" or "reply" permissions from the list. This will allow people +to send emails to the list, but not view the archives or subscribe. |
