Christopher, I think because the mailbot gives this bit of information when you sign up:
Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you try it you get: Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. No information has been provided for this list. The second address does a bit better: Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. Please check out the Cygwin XFree86 FAQ at the following location: http://cygwin.com/cygwin/xfree/faq.html Wes Szumera -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Faylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 8:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: new subscriber On Mon, Sep 30, 2002 at 03:36:47PM -0500, Lane, Frank L wrote: >My first post.

Links for the FAQ and list information for cygwin are visible at http://cygwin.com/ . The FAQ for cygwin-xfree is at http://xfree.cygwin.com/ . In general if you are looking for information like this, the project web page is the place to find it. cgf
