    Mailing lists: correctness, conciseness
    
    Do not begin with misdirection to the FreeBSD Handbook.
    
    Raise awareness of answers to lists-specific FAQ.
    
    Add the FreeBSD-provided search engine, mention MarkMail and
    DuckDuckGo.
    
    Be concise: minimise repetition, and so on.
