                                User's Guide


SYMPA is an electronic mailing-list manager that automates list management
functions such as subscriptions, moderation, and archive management.

All commands must be sent to the electronic address 

You can put multiple commands in a message. These commands must appear in the
message body and each line must contain only one command. The message body
is ignored if the Content-Type is different from text/plain but even with
crasy mailer using multipart and text/html for any message, commands in the
subject are recognized.

Available commands are:
