vim.org maillists

A few notes about using the maillists:

• Before sending a message check the archive (see below), search the Vim pages and the FAQ, your question may have been answered already.
• Do not send messages in HTML. You will be flamed! Every decent mail program has an option to switch off HTML.
• Attachments are allowed, but keep the total message size below 50 Kbytes. Otherwise upload your file somewhere and send the URL to the maillist
• You can get an automated help message from the mailing list manager, see here for an example.

third-party lists

Please let us know of any Vim-related mailing lists that we've missed!

This is info you get from [email protected]. For other lists replace "vim" with the name of the maillist.

--- Administrative commands for the vim list ---

I can handle administrative requests automatically. Please
do not send them to the list address! Instead, send
your message to the correct command address:

To subscribe to the list, send a message to:
 <[email protected]>

To remove your address from the list, send a message to:
 <[email protected]>

Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list:
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>

Similar addresses exist for the digest list:
 <[email protected]>
 <[email protected]>

To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
 <[email protected]>

To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail:
 <[email protected]>

They are always returned as sets of 100, max 2000 per request,
so you'll actually get 100-499.

To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,
send an empty message to:
 <[email protected]>

The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore
their content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.

You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
for example "[email protected]", just add a hyphen and your
address (with '=' instead of '@') after the command word:
<[email protected]>

To stop subscription for this address, mail:
<[email protected]>

In both cases, I'll send a confirmation message to that address. When
you receive it, simply reply to it to complete your subscription.

If despite following these instructions, you do not get the
desired results, please contact my owner at
[email protected]. Please be patient, my owner is a
lot slower than I am ;-)
