+The modes you can set yourself to require you to send an email to
+<ulink url="mailto:listar@linuxfromscratch.org">
+listar@linuxfromscratch.org</ulink>. The modes themselves are set by writing
+the appropriate commands in the subject headers of the message.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+As the name implies the <emphasis>Set command</emphasis> tells you what
+to write to set a mode. The <emphasis>Unset command</emphasis> tells
+you what to write to unset a mode.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Replace listname in the example subject headers with the listname to which 
+you want to apply the mode to. If you want to set more than one mode (to
+the same list or multiple lists) with one email you can do so by writing 
+junk in the subject header like "hello" and then put the commands in the 
+body of the message instead.

+<para>
+All lists have the digest mode available and you can set yourself to
+digest mode, after you subscribe to a list. Being in digest mode will
+cause you to stop receiving individual messages as they are posted to
+the list and instead you will receive one email daily containing all
+the messages posted to the list that day.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There is a second digest mode called digest2. When you are set to this
+mode you will receive the daily digests but you will also continue to
+receive the individual messages to the lists are they are posted. To
+set yourself to this mode write <emphasis>digest2</emphasis> instead of
+<emphasis>digest</emphasis> in the subject header.

+<para>
+If you are going to be away for a while or wish to stop receiving
+messages from the lists but you don't want to unsubscribe you can set
+yourself to vacation mode. This has the same effect as unsubscribing
+yourself, but you don't have to go through the unsubscribe process and
+then later through the subscribe process again.
