.SH DESCRIPTION

.SH OPTIONS

.TP
\fB\-r\fB \fIfile\fI, \fB\-\-\fBregular-members-file=\fB\fIfile\fI

A file containing addresses of the members to be added, one address
per line.  This list of people become non-digest members.  If file is
`-', read addresses from stdin. Note that \-n/\-\-non-digest-members-file
are deprecated synonyms for this option.

.TP
\fB\-d\fB \fIfile\fI, \fB\-\-\fBdigest-members-file=\fB\fIfile\fI

Similar to above, but these people become digest members.

.TP
\fB\-a [y|n]\fB, \fB\-\-admin-notify=[y|n]\fB

Set whether or not to send the list administrators a notification on
the success/failure of these subscriptions, overriding whatever the
list's `admin_notify_mchanges' setting is.

.TP
\fB\-w [y|n]\fB, \fB\-\-welcome-msg=[y|n]\fB

Set whether or not to send the list members a welcome message,
overriding whatever the list's `send_welcome_msg' setting is.

files can be `-'.
