Cites a message sent to a mailing list. Place it inside <ref>…</ref> tags.

On subject lines. Messages sent to a private list were written for that list, not for publication. Set private = yes and the template will suppress title even if one is supplied; identify the message by its digest and date instead. Subject lines from public lists and newsgroups may be quoted normally.

On author names. This template takes a single author field rather than last/first, because contributors to these lists are cited by the community name they signed with. Do not supply a legal name.
