Description Graham Perrin freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-11-26 07:24:02 UTC
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/freebsd-questions/#_before_submitting_a_question> includes direction to: 

<https://www.freebsd.org/mail>

– that redirects to: 

<https://docs.freebsd.org/mail/>

– without mentioning the primary list archives that are found through: 

<https://lists.freebsd.org/>

The primary archives should not be omitted.

Instead of aiming to list the multiple archives in multiple locations in multiple languages, a better place to raise awareness of the <https://docs.freebsd.org/mail/> alternative might be: 

<https://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists/>

– expand, enhance and habitually refer to that page. Ultimately less of a maintenance burden.
