Module Two

Lists

Until this unit I was not aware that you could use email in such a way, I think lists are perfect if you "don't need an immediate answer" or "you want or need regularly updated information about a particular topic" also if you would like to join a community 'online' were members have the same interests as you.
The drawback with using lists is "spam-filtering programs might flag your message as spam or blacklist your address entirely, just based on the content of the message" leaving you with out the communication that you have subscribed to.
