The list administrator email addresses.
Multiple administrator addresses, each on separate line is okay.
Details for owner: The list administrator email addresses. Multiple administrator
addresses, each on separate line is okay.
There are two ownership roles associated with each mailing list. The list administrators
are the people who have ultimate control over all parameters of this mailing
list. They are able to change any list configuration variable available through
these administration web pages. The list moderators have more limited permissions;
they are not able to change any list configuration variable, but they are allowed
to tend to pending administration
requests, including approving or rejecting held subscription requests, and disposing
of held postings. Of course, the list administrators can also tend to pending
requests. In order to split the list ownership duties into administrators and
moderators, you must set a separate moderator password, and also provide the
email addresses
of the list moderators. Note that the field you are changing here specifies the
list administrators. |

|
A terse phrase identifying this list.
Details for description: This description is used when the mailing list
is listed with other mailing lists, or in headers, and so forth. It should be
as succinct as you can get it, while still identifying what the list is. |
|
An introductory description - a few
paragraphs - about the list. It will be included, as html, at the top of the
listinfo page. Carriage returns will end a paragraph - see the details for more
info.
Details for info: The text will be treated as html except that newlines
will be translated to <br> - so you can use links, preformatted text, etc,
but don't put in carriage returns except where you mean to separate paragraphs.
And review your changes - bad html (like some unterminated HTML constructs) can
prevent display of the entire listinfo page. |
|
Prefix for subject line of list postings.
Details for subject_prefix: This text will be prepended to subject lines
of messages posted to the list, to distinguish mailing list messages in in mailbox
summaries. Brevity is premium here, it's ok to shorten long mailing list names
to something more concise, as long as it still identifies the mailing list. |
