2.1.9)  M: Mailing List

description: Used to specify a mailing list for the corresponding category. When users activate the 'subscribe to mailing list' function, they are subscribed to this mailing list via a standard mechanism, which consists of an automated email with the subject 'subscribe' being sent. Later on, users may unsubscribe from any mailing lists they have subscribed to via the browser by deselecting them somewhere in the menu system. Again an automated email is sent, now to unsubscribe the user.

format:
"m:" [ <name> "," ] <mailing list> [ ";" <short description> ]
remark: An arbitrary amount of mailing lists may be specified per category.

remark: When specifying multiple mailing lists for one and the same category, the short descriptions are displayed to the user when they request to subscribe to a mailing list, so they may choose.
