Common List Commands
The most common commands are listed below. Remember, when you issue any
of these commands that you need to address your e-mail message
to listproc@lists.colorado.edu rather
than to the name of the list.
Throughout this document, anything presented as word means you should substitute word with your particular information. For example, in this line:
subscribe listname first lastname
You would substitute listname with the real name of the list you want to join and substitute first lastname with your first name and last name. Important: Do not actually italicize any commands you send to ListProc.
