NOTE: If you prefer the digest version, send the above message to chile-heads-digest-request@globalgarden.com instead. I'm not sure which of these two -request addresses you'd use for the auth message (see next bit), as I've never been on the digest version. You will receive a message with a subject like this one: Subject: Confirmation for subscribe chile-heads It will say something like this: Someone (possibly you) has requested that your email address be added to or deleted from the mailing list "chile-heads@globalgarden.com". It will also contain a line that reads "auth [code] subscribe ..." that instructs you to send a reply to majordomo@globalgarden.com with that auth line as the body of the message. Send that reply, but DO NOT send it to majordomo ... it will bounce. Instead, send it to the same address you used before: chile-heads-request@globalgarden.com. After that, you will get a welcome message (save all of these for later reference---I save them to a special folder called "listserv" where I save all list subscribe/unsubscribe/help info) welcoming you to the list and giving you some useful reference information.
