Besides the newsgroups in the r.a.c hierarchy, you can also subscribe to
various mailing lists on specific topics (sort of like a mini-newsgroup)
and have messages sent to your email address.

You can subscribe to any of the following mailing lists by emailing a
request to the appropriate email address.  Please note that the appropriate
address for subscribing and unsubscribing is often different from the
address of the list itself, that is, the address to which one does the
equivalent of "posting" articles.

alt.comics.alternative   a.c.a. newsgroup posts via email digest
  For those whose site doesn't carry alt.comics.alternative, or who
  prefer email digests to newsgroups, Glenn Carnagey has set up a service
  which regularly emails 26 or fewer a.c.a. articles per digest, sorted
  by Subject:. Each digest starts with a Table of Contents of the Subject:
  lines and instructions on how to post to a.c.a. via email. To subscribe,
  mail to: grun@wimpy.cpe.uchicago.edu

COMICS-L  a listserv discussion list
  To subscribe, send a request to:  listserv@unlvm.unl.edu

Small Press mailing list
  To subscribe send mail to:  
    small-press-request@world.std.com
  This mailing list deals in part with small press comics, although be
  warned that it also deals with zines, small book publishers, small
  magazine publishers, literary journals, and so forth.  The list tends 
  to be more aimed at publishing and getting published (and getting

  also want to check out the newsgroup alt.zines.

  To subscribe, send the message:
    subscribe stripe-l
    end
  To:

  added to your mail. To post to the list, mail to:
    stripe-l@netcom.com

Superguy
  Superguy is a mailing list devoted to interactive adventure fiction,
  of both humorous and serious types. It is an open, unmonitored list,
  which allows anyone to post anything they wish.  However, as our
  stated purpose is entertaining fiction, posts not connected with
  that fiction or discussing the group itself are frowned on. There
  are several different universes, including the Superguy universe,
  a superheroic satire.
  I'm personally not familiar with it, but it seems similar to the
  LNH with established characters and plotlines. Before posting, one
  should get a copy of their FAQ. To subcribe, send the message:
    SUBSCRIBE SUPERGUY
  to:
    listserv@ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu
  Submissions to the list should go to:
    superguy@ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu

Valiant Visions newsletter

  with Valiant staffers, contests, and information on upcoming events.
  Valiant participates fully and has given us its support.  Currently,

  to the editor, Chris Vitek, at:
     CVitek@Drew.Drew.Edu.
