More information about these menu options follows:

  • Subscribe : If you're not already subscribed to the list, this link will either add you as a subscriber (if the list is set to allow anyone to subscribe) or dispatch a request to the list owners asking them to either approve or decline your subscription. If there is no Subscribe link shown in the List Operations menu then it means subscription to this list is closed and you can only be added by the owner manually adding you.
