What Are E-Mail Discussion Groups?
E-mail discussion groups are an electronic means for people with a common interest to exchange information. If you subscribe to a group, all the messages that members send to the group will come to your e-mail account. If you send a message, all the group members will receive it. E-mail discussion groups are a wonderful way to bring together people who have something in common but are separated by large distances.Some e-mail discussion groups have hundreds of members. This means that if you subscribe to one, you could easily receive a hundred e-mail messages per day from just that one source. Be sure you are ready to spend the time on it if you want to try it out. Some groups have a "digest" option, whereby you can receive all the day's postings in one large post.
Many women find that the support and community offered by an e-mail group changes their lives.
After you subscribe, you will receive more information from the computer that operates the list (called a ListServe) regarding how to send mail to the list, any rules about posting, and information about how to get off the list.
