How do I subscribe/unsubscribe to these lists?
To subscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:
kde-request@kde.org
kde-announce-request@kde.org
kde-user-request@kde.org
kde-look-request@kde.org
The email must contain subscribe your_email_address in the subject.
To unsubscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:
kde-request@kde.org
kde-announce-request@kde.org
kde-user-request@kde.org
kde-look-request@kde.org
The email must contain unsubscribe your_email_address in the subject. Never send subscribe/unsubscribe request to the mailing lists directly! Use the list-request instead.
There is also a complete list of all &kde;-related mailing lists, and a web interface for subscribing and unsubscribing located at http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo.
Is there a mailing list archive?
Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by Progressive Computer Concepts. The &URL; is http://lists.kde.org. There you will see a folder listing of the mailing lists. Note that you can only do a subject/author search at this level. You probably will not find what you want doing this kind of search.
To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists. Just click on the folder you want to search (⪚ kde
or kde-user
) and then the pull-down menu by the search box will default to Body
searches. To be thorough, you should probably search the kde
, kde-user
, and kde-devel
folders.
