Mailing Lists
Thanks to Martin
Maechler, there are three mailing lists devoted to R:
- r-announce
- This list is for announcements about the development of R
and the availability of new code.

- The `main' R mailing list, for announcements

General Instructions
To send a message to everyone on the r-help mailing list, send
email to r-help@lists.R-project.org
.
To subscribe (or unsubscribe) to this list send ``subscribe'' (or
``unsubscribe'') in the body of the message (not in the
subject!) to r-help-request@lists.R-project.org
. Information about the list can be obtained by sending an email
with ``info'' as its contents to r-help-request@lists.R-project.org
.
Subscription and posting to the other lists is done
analogously, with `r-help' replaced by `r-announce' and
`r-devel', respectively. Note that the r-announce list is
gatewayed into r-help, so you don't need to subscribe to both of
them.
It is recommended that you send mail to r-help rather than
only to the R developers (who are also subscribed to the
list, of course). This may save them precious time they can use
for constantly improving R, and will typically also
result in much quicker feedback for yourself.
Of course, in the case of bug reports it would be very helpful
to have code which reliably reproduces the problem.
List Digests
Subscriptions to `r-help' and `r-devel' are also available in digest
format. With this option, several messages are compiled into a single
message for convenient reading by those who do not prefer immediate
receipt of individual messages. To get messages in digest format,
subscribe to the separate digest lists `r-help-digest' and `r-devel-digest',
respectively. You do not need to be subscribed to the regular lists if
you subscribe the digest lists (and vice versa).
E.g., to subscribe to r-help in digest format, send an email with the
word ``subscribe'' in the body of the message (not in the
subject!) to r-help-digest-request@lists.R-project.org.
Mailing List Archives
- Browsable HTML versions of the mail archives can be found on top of
this page.
- Unformatted text files of the mail list
archives in standard Unix mailbox format can be downloaded from
every CRAN mirror.
- Searchable Archives
of the three mailing lists are made available on the net thanks to
Robert King (Server in Queensland, Australia).
