Important List Commands:

SET list-name [option arg [args]] Alias: QUEry
With no option or arguments specified, SET list-name or QUEry list-name
returns a list of all of your current subscription options for the
specified list, if you are subscribed.

SET list-name MAIL ACK|NOACK|DIGEST|POSTPONE
The MAIL option requires one of the arguments ACK, NOACK, DIGEST, or
POSTPONE. The argument ACK causes ListProc to include you in the
distribution of each message you send to a list; NOACK causes ListProc
not to include you when you send the message. Thus, Set dummy mail ack
causes you to receive a copy of each message you send to the list dummy.
The DIGEST option causes you to receive your mail from the specified list
in the "digest" collection of messages (including messages you sent to
the list) whenever that digest is distributed. SET list-name MAIL
POSTPONE causes listproc to exclude you from all list distributions until
you send another set list-name mail command with one of the other arguments.
