Overview
There are two methods to subscribe yourself to a non-dynamic Google Group based mailing list. You only need to use one of these methods. After following one of the options below, you may be sent a confirmation message to the email address provided and must follow the instructions given in the email to complete the subscription process. This is to stop people from subscribing you without your permission. Additionally, depending on the nature of the list, a moderator may need to approve your subscription.
