The "finding e-mail addresses" FAQ causes me to receive lots of other e-mail
questions, so I've begun creating a FAQ about e-mail, intended to have
pointers to the main e-mail related FAQs, at
http://www.qucis.queensu.ca/FAQs/email/email.html
It will probably eventually become the index.html of its directory.

I'd appreciate it if FAQ-maintainers could check to see if their FAQs are
properly listed there. I don't necessarily want to list everything; when
somebody else has a FAQ on "how to deal with spam", for example, I'd prefer
just to link to it, rather than to everything else such a FAQ might itself
link to [I haven't always succeeded, since I haven't delved into the depths of
each FAQ listed, and don't yet know if some of my links also list others of my
links].

This came from scanning (by hand) the LOPIP for everthing mentioning "mail",
then filtering out what didn't make sense.

I plan to eventually convert this to a PIP; it seemed to me that
comp.mail.misc and news.announce.newusers made the most sense (gotta keep
crossposts down to 3, so I'd have to just add news.answers, wouldn't I?)
