Homepage Exercise

The example from the preceding section pretty well summarizes how a typical mail list works. You should now be able to use this knowledge to subscribe to mail lists of particular interest to you. If you wish, you may add a mailto: link to your homepage for posting to Mail Lists that you subscribe to. For example, from the preceding instructions the HTML code 

   <h1> Mail Lists </h1>
   <a href="mailto:[email protected]">
   Kidlink Projects</a>

will add a link to your homepage that automatically brings up a mail window with the address set to the Kidlink Projects Mail List and the "from:" field set to your return address. Add a subject, type your message, and send it! Just be sure that the message that you send is one that you want a lot of people to know about.

Use the preceding example as a template to add some mailto: links to your homepage for posting to mail lists that may be of interest to you. To help you get started in subscribing to mail lists, see the Web resources for mail lists in the next section.
