3.1 The web interface

From 3a258ad5cdd98c5705af6c02ba91993b3d382adc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:23:41 -0500 Subject: Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98 directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin repository. --- doc/mailman-member/node9.html | 195 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 195 insertions(+) create mode 100644 doc/mailman-member/node9.html (limited to 'doc/mailman-member/node9.html') diff --git a/doc/mailman-member/node9.html b/doc/mailman-member/node9.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f0a2c836 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-member/node9.html @@ -0,0 +1,195 @@ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +3.1 The web interface + + + + + +

+3.1 The web interface +

+The web interface of Mailman is its selling point for many administrators, +since it makes it much easier for subscribers and administrators to see +which options are available, and what these options do. + +

+Every mailing list is also accessible by a number of web pages. Note that +the exact URLs are configurable by the site administrator, so they may be +different than what's described below. We'll describe the most common +configuration, but check with your site administrator or hosting +service for details. + +

List information (listinfo) page

Usually found at http://WEBSERVER/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME (for example, http://lists.example.com/mailman/listinfo/mylist) + +
+
The listinfo page is the starting point for the subscriber + interface. As one would assume from the name it's given, it + contains information about the LISTNAME list. + Usually all the other subscriber pages can be accessed from this + point, so you really only need to know this one address. + +
+

+ +

Member options page

Usually found at http://WEBSERVER/mailman/options/LISTNAME/EMAIL (For example, http://lists.example.com/mailman/options/mylist/kathy@here.com) + +
+
This page can also be accessed by going to the listinfo page + and entering your email address into the box beside the button + marked "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" (this is near the bottom of the + page). + +
+
The member options page allows you to log in/out and change your + list settings, as well as unsubscribe or get a copy of your password + mailed to you. + +
+
To log in to your member options page: + If you are not already logged in, there will be a box near the top for + you to enter your password. (If you do not know your password, see + Section 6.1 for more information on getting your + password.) Enter your password in the box and press the button. + +
+
Once you are logged in, you will be able to view and change + all your list settings. + +
+

+ +

List Archives

Usually found at http://WEBSERVER/pipermail/LISTNAME if the + list is publicly archived, and + http://WEBSERVER/mailman/private/LISTNAME if the list is privately + archives. (For example, + http://lists.example.com/pipermail/mylist or + http://lists.example.com/mailman/private/mylist) + +
+
The list archive pages have copies of the posts sent to the + mailing list, usually grouped by month. In each monthly group, the + posts are usually indexed by author, date, thread, and subject. + +
+
Note: +Pipermail is the name of the default archiver that + comes with Mailman. Other archive programs are available. + +
+
If the archive is private, you will need to supply your + subscribed email address and your password to log in. (See + Section 6.1 for more information on getting + your password.) + +
