There are several ways to send a message to this list by email,
depending on how the message relates to others.

If you're starting a new topic, you should address a new email
("Compose", or "Write" or "New Email"), give it a meaningful subject
line, and send it tutor at python.org

If you're replying to a message, you should do one of three things:

     Reply All - your message is of interest to the person you're
replying to, and to the group.  i do this most often.
     Reply  - your message is only of private interest to the particular
person.  Examples might be a special thanks, or some details like a
local contact because he happens to be local to you.
      Reply List - your message is of interest to the list, but only
incidentally to the person who wrote the existing message, and you
assume he'll get it when he reads the list.

Some email programs don't have all 3 choices, so you might end up doing
a Reply-All, and deleting one or more names from the To: and/or cc


Note that the list works best when everyone follows the same
conventions, even though they're using widely different email programs
or news readers.  One of those conventions is to trim the existing
message where possible, and put your own remarks AFTER the parts they're
aimed at.  Those vertical bars (which are actually "<" characters, but
most email programs render them as vertical bars) help to identify who
wrote which part.  So make sure the parts you write are on lines by
themselves, generally by hitting enter before and after the part you add.

Note that some people use bogus email addresses, as they don't want to
get any private email.  There is an RFC spec for what to use as such a
bogus address, and I think it involves the 'unknown' domain.

Note that most email programs and email readers "thread" the responses,
so that they're ordered and indented according to who is replying to
whom.  Even if you can't see that in your own reader, have consideration
for those who do.  So, for example, don't address a new email when it
really belongs in the thread, as it totally splits the thread up.


Hope this was helpful.
