To get a list of lists

To subscribe to a list
- Send a message to the ecartis account on the server (you can just reply to this message). In the subject field, enter "subscribe [listname]". Or, you can send a message to "[listname]-request" with a subject of "subscribe".
To unsubscribe from a list
- Send a message to the ecartis account on the server (you can just reply to this message). Enter "unsubscribe [listname]" in the subject field. You can also send a message to "[listname]-request" with a subject of "unsubscribe". While you should NOT send your unsubscribe command to the list itself, Ecartis will attempt to trap such erroneous postings and forward them to the list administrators for proper handling.
To get a digest every day
- Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject of "set [listname] digest". This will turn on digests, and you will receive a digest however often the server is configured to send them.
To stop getting a digest
- Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject of "unset [listname] digest". This will turn off digest mode, and instead you will receive an eMail every time something is posted to the list.
To get a digest and normal posts
- Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject of "set [listname] digest2". This will activate digest mode with normal posting. As each message is posted to the list it will be sent to you, and you will receive a digest as well. This flag should be used INSTEAD of digest, NOT IN ADDITION TO. To stop receiving digests in addition to normal posts, send a message to the ecartis account with a subject of "unset [listname] digest2". You will go back to receiving normal posts.
To find out who is on a list

To stop hiding on a list
- Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject of "unset [listname] hidden". You will then show up on WHO queries to the listserver.
