Hmmm, as far as I can tell, that pretty much seems to be it. Probably best for the port 80-challenged to walk out the door to their nearest public access internet facility and use Mailman's web interface. There you can get a list of all the lists you're subscribed to and enact global changes on your subscriptions (viz. options and subscribed address). It's hard to guess why these things cannot be done via email commands. I've just had a bit of a rummage around and I haven't been able to find any hint of commands that might provide similar functionality. Mailman seems to be quite popular:- one would think these apparent shortcomings might have been addressed before now? It doesn't appear to be a case of running an old version - freebsd.org seems to be using a recent/latest version of Mailman. My apologies to Steven for excessive supposition and sarcasm on my part.
