I agree!  In addition it should be taught that when you subscribe to a
mail list:

     1.  You will receive one or two "welcome messages" that contain
         important information about the list.  You should:

         a.  Read these messages carefully.  (They will give the "rules"
             for the list.)

         b.  Save these messages for future reference.  (They will, for
             example, tell you how to subscribe and unsubscribe.)

     2.  You should observe the list to get a feel for the style and
         nature of the list BEFORE posting messages to the list.
