I had similar trouble trying to post using eGroups. Eventually, I
received an email saying conlang was a "remote list", which term wasn't
documented anywhere on the eGroups site. Finally, I found the LISTSERV
instructions on Pablo Flores' page.
My current problem is that I have to be set to NOMAIL because of the
volume and read the messages using eGroups, but in order to reply, I
have to cut, switch to my WebMail page, paste, and manually edit (and
after all that, some of the posts still don't show up). Any suggestions?
