	     You have to use a CGI program to do it.

 % How do I go about creating a URL for subscribing to a mailing list?
 % 
 % 
 % Can I do something like:-
 % 
 % mailto:list123-request-subscribe@abc.xyz  ?
 % 
 % or do I need to include something in subject?
 % 
 % I'm not sure that this is possible at all with Majordomo,
 % 
 % but I find it to be a pain giving verbose instructions to people
 % about how to join, and would rather people were able to click
 % on a URL in my signature for instance...
 % 
 % If it is posible to do what I want, how do I set up the alias to
 % invoke the subscribe command?
