  The addresses for the Octave mailing lists should be easier to
  remember now because they are in the octave.org domain:

    bug-octave at octave dot org
    help-octave at octave dot org
    octave-graphics at octave dot org
    octave-maintainers at octave dot org
    octave-sources at octave dot org

then David Bateman suggested

  Why not simplify these to 

     bug at octave dot org
     help at octave dot org
     graphics at octave dot org
     maintainers at octave dot org
     sources at octave dot org

which seems better, so I've made this change.  I also added a "bugs"
alias for the bug list.

While I was making these changes, it occurred to me that mentioning
names like

  help-request at octave dot org
  sources-request at octave dot org
  etc.

for subscriptions might result in even more confusion about the
intended purpose of these addresses, so now I'm advertising the names

  help-subscribe at octave dot org
  sources-subscribe at octave dot org
  etc.

instead.

All the previous addresses should continue to work (please let me know
if you notice problems).

Once again, sorry about any duplicates of this message that you might
receive, and also about the rapid fire changes.  I hope these names
will not need to be changed any time soon.

Thanks,
