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.

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.

P.S. What is the current sig for debian-user? (Doesn't show
up in my mail.)
