THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION. OK. One thing at a time. 1: Look at the left of your keyboard. You'll find a key marked "Caps Lock". Press it. > hello my name is tony. i have been doing research on freebsd. i'm planning to setup a system with this os. i would thank you for placing me on your mailing list to benefit from the experience others and expertise to make my transition smooth.please use this e-mail address tonymb@mciworld.com. thank you for your cooperation. Ah, that's a little better, isn't it? 2: At the other end you'll find another larger key marked "Enter". Use it approximately every 70 characters, between words: > hello my name is tony. i have been doing research on freebsd. i'm > planning to setup a system with this os. i would thank you for > placing me on your mailing list to benefit from the experience > others and expertise to make my transition smooth.please use this > e-mail address tonymb@mciworld.com. thank you for your cooperation. Ah. Now it's readable. You should, of course, use capital letters here and there. 3: Use a web browser and access http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL. It'll tell you which mailing list is for what. I'd suggest -newbies and/or -questions for the start. A bit further down the page you will find instructions for how to subscribe to the mailing list of your choice. While you have the browser running, check out http://www.lemis.com/email.html, which will tell you how to write more legible mail, and http://www.lemis.com/questions.html, which will give you other tips about how to send mail to the FreeBSD mailing lists.
