Hello, My suggestion: Leave the link text as is (so that eg in a print edition ppl can still find out what the actual address of the mailing lists is) but chnage the link to point to majordomo. However, I don't know if the mailto: URIs can also contain templates for the text? Because majordomo doesn't care about the subject, but cares about the text. If so, we can solve it like this. If not we should just take out the link (but not the link text!) so that it isn't clickable any more. This way, hopefully ppl will realize that they need to actually read a bit more... BTW, maybe we should take out the mail address of the doc list from under the title of the Handbook, because I strongly suspect that people never actually read the footer that says "If you have problems with FreeBSD mail -questions, if you have a problem with the docs, contact -doc" (paraphrased) but instead go straight for the mail address that's right under the title because they expect that the "author" will answer all their questions. This imposes unnecessary "support load" on the -doc list at times. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
