What are mailing lists and how do I subscribe to them?

Mailing lists are for people who do not have regular net access, or wish to concentrate on a specific topic. The mailings on each topic are collected in groups and then mailed to you, usually containing anywhere from 10-20 messages each. The difference is that mailing lists are not interactive as the newsboards. If you have only email access and not news access, the mailing list is the only way to receive rec.music.gdead.

Dead-Flames is a digestified version of rec.music.gdead, and Dead-Heads is a low-volume "important-info-only" list (tickets/setlists/ GDH schedule mainly).

If you'd like to subscribe to any of the lists, here are their addresses. For each list choose only ONE address:
