Also, how would a user subscribe to a "topic"? Sorry, thought I'd explained this before, but can't find the mail now. I think http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node29.html covers it. For sending: To post on a given topic, you need to make sure that the Keywords: or Subject: headers in a message match the regular expression for that topic. Ie: Keywords: emacs-announce or: Subject: [emacs-announce] blah (I guess the difference between these two is that using the Subject will propagate into replies. Based on experience of topic drift, this is probably not wanted.) For reading, you only need do anything special if you only want the topic mails, and not the vast majority of mails (which have no topic defined): Log in to your member options page. Look for the section marked "Which topic categories would you like to subscribe to?"
