This page contains information on how to subscribe to course mailing lists. You should subscribe to at least 4 mailing lists - cse143, cse143-announce, the list for your computing platform, and the one for your section.

Limitations of E-mail

A caveat about mailing lists: Mailing lists have their strong points, but generally speaking, you'll get a lot more help via direct, human interaction. Go to office hours, go to the lab and talk to a consultant, TA, or instructor. In particular, it is nearly impossible to debug programs via email; so taking those kinds of questions directly to a human is the best approach. Finally, you should never post homework related code to any mailing list.

How do I subscribe?

To subscribe to a mailing list, send e-mail to majordomo@cs.washington.edu; with the line
subscribe listname
in the message's body (not its header), where listname is the name of the list you want to join.

For example, to subscribe to a standard set of groups, send mail to majordomo with the contents

subscribe cse143
subscribe cse143-announce
subscribe cse143-mac
subscribe cse143-section-ta-lastname
Within a moment, you should receive a response confirming your addition to the list.

Avoid Embarrassment!!! When subscribing to a list, make sure you send your "subscribe" message to majordomo@cs -- not to the mailing list! Otherwise you'll send a message to all the students already on the list.

If you want to leave a list, send an "unsubscribe" message to majordomo instead.
