-mail is an increasingly important method of communication in our society. To join the Cleftlands email mailing list, called Cleftlist, follow these simple instructions.

	Open a new, blank email. Set the To: address to majordomo@midrealm.org
	You can leave the Subject: line blank. In the body of the message (where you would normally type any message to whomever you were writing the message to) enter the words subscribe cleftlist on a new, empty line.
	Send your message. It's as easy as that! To unsubscribe later follow the same procedure only use unsubscribe cleftlist in the body of your email message.
	Remember, only the exact email address you subscribed with will be able to post to the list.
	To subscribe to the Digest format, send your message to cleftlist-digest-request@midrealm.org with the word subscribe in the body of the message.

If you are unable to join the mailing list, contact the list owner, Milesent, for help.

Don't forget your Nettiquette! Here are some tips for successful mailing list usage:

	Do not send attachments to the list unless absolutely necessary. The Cleftlist has a message size limit that will stop most messages with attachments from going through to the list. Small image files, such as those appropriate for web pages (72 dpi), are fine.
	Delete unessasary parts of a message such as signature files, headers, etc. when forwarding the message to the list.
	Take private conversations off of the list.
	Avoid the dreaded Me Too syndrome, does your reply add to the conversation?
