This is not at what I was suggesting. I was suggesting a link to the newbie information that people on this list were discussing last week. This could include, among many other topics, instructions to unsubscribe from debian-user. > Maybe a big bold link on the Debian home page that says "Have a question? > Look here > first" which takes the user directly to the search input box on the mail > archive > search engine? I was suggesting a link like this as a sig for debian-user, but maybe leading to a web page with some introductory info _and_ the search engine. The "mail -s..." link was difficult for a newbie to follow anyhow, since it required familiarity with unix command- line mail utilities. Just MHO. --D P.S. What is the current sig for debian-user?
