I thought there was, but I couldn't find it so here's a quickie (which
might need some work - I have a tremendous hangover):

Send all commands to "miata-request@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu".  For a list of
available commands, send a message containing "help".

To join the list send a message to the above address with a command like
the following in the message body:

subscribe miata John Q. Public

Additional commands can be included on seperate lines, e.g. to receive
daily, weekly or monthly digests instead of getting each message
immediately. Daily, weekly and monthly digests are available via the "set
miata mail daily", "set miata mail weekly" and "set miata mail monthly"
commands.

An archive of all activity on the list is maintained on jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu
and is retrievable by sending "index" and "get" commands.  Send a mail
message with "index miata" to get a listing of available archives; send a
mail message containing "get miata {filename}" to retrieve an archive
file.

To send mail to the list, send it to "miata@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu".
