How do we get on a mailing list to be notified when an update is released?

You can configure the forum to receive an email when new posts arrive.

For those wondering, it's this link at the bottom:

Clicking that will get e-mail sent to your registered address when new posts are made.

Right. E-mail. Not mail* as I had assumed after reading the original post. You know, because of the words they used.

*AKA "snail mail"

Oh! Haha, no I didn't get that. "mailing list" is assumed to be an e-mailing list in this context.
Why would we ever even think about sending something by post just to announce something is available on-line?
(also, not trying to sell anything with such mailings so it'd literally be money lost sending out letters for nothing)

Until those physical update letters reach their destinations, newer versions most probably would be already available.

I strongly advise against it... unless you include a CD-ROM with Pale Moon-related goodies on that letter.

Don't ask me. I didn't write the title of the thread.

And unless it's for users living in Sweden or the mainland Scandinavian countries (so excluding Denmark, Iceland, and Greenland), then perhaps the update being out-of-date by arrival wouldn't be a problem!

The wording is no longer mail versus email; now it is mail versus surface mail or paper mail or postal service ...

Off-topic:

mail versus email

It's e-mail, with a hyphen.

I will switch* to "email" when everyone agrees we should switch from "i-beam" to "ibeam" and "h-bomb" to "hbomb" and similar.

*Which is to say: never.

I thought it was snail mail? Guess that's too informal.

• postal mail
• snail mail
• tangible mail
• actual mail
• personal mail
• traditional mail
• local mail
• slow letter
• land mail
• surface mail (although air mail is also postal mail, so....)
• paper mail
• l-mail
• heavy mail
• real post
• conventional mail
• traditional post

There's probably more...

Fortunately (?) in this country we have no such language problem. "mail" (in English) is only e-mail (the full locution "posta elettronica" is seldom used). Traditional mail is just called "posta" (and is definitely decreasing ... I've just sent tens of season's wishes by e-mail, versus one real postcard, and I did deliver it by hand. I guess tobacconists do not sell postage stamps as they used to be, and post offices are more second class banks, r ru other things like SPID. Even for registered mail, necessary for official acts, assuming one does not want to use PEC, Posta Elettronica Certificata, which I guess is a local thing only, one can send one online via the Poste site).

Same goes for English-speaking countries. We have "mail", and we have "e-mail". There is no confusion.
