+<para>Is there a &kde; mailing list?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>There are several &kde; mailing lists. Each focuses on a different
+aspect of &kde;. Some are for developers, so they are not
+discussed in detail. Some of the more important lists that users
+might be interested in are:</para>
+<variablelist>
+<varlistentry><term>kde</term>
+<listitem><para>This is the main &kde; mailing list for general
+discussions.</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+<varlistentry><term>kde-announce</term>
+<listitem><para>This list is used to announce new versions of &kde; as
+well as new tools and applications.</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+<varlistentry><term>kde-look</term>
+<listitem><para>This is the list that deals with questions about look and
+feel, and general user interface considerations.</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+</variablelist>
+<para>For the complete list of mailing lists available, please refer

+<question id="subscribe">
+<para>How do I subscribe/unsubscribe to these lists?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para>To subscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:</para>

+<para>The email must contain <userinput>subscribe
+<replaceable>your_email_address</replaceable></userinput> in the
+subject.</para>
+<para>To unsubscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para><ulink url="mailto:kde-request@kde.org">kde-request@kde.org</ulink></para></listitem>

+<para>The email must contain <userinput>unsubscribe

+<important><para>Never send subscribe/unsubscribe request to the
+mailing lists directly! Use the list-request
+instead.</para></important></para>
+<para>There is also a complete list of all &kde;-related mailing
+lists, and a web interface for subscribing and unsubscribing located

+<question>
+<para>Is there a mailing list archive?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+
+<para>Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by <ulink
+url="http://www.progressive-comp.com">Progressive Computer
+Concepts</ulink>. The &URL; is <ulink
+url="http://lists.kde.org">http://lists.kde.org</ulink>. 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.</para>
+
+<para>To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists.
+Just click on the folder you want to search (&eg; <quote>kde</quote>
+or <quote>kde-devel</quote>) and then the pull-down menu by the search
+box will default to <quote>Body</quote> searches. To be thorough, you
+should probably search the <quote>kde</quote>, <quote>kde-linux</quote>, and <quote>kde-devel</quote> folders. </para>
