Well you managed to reply to an existing thread, rather than start a new one. What ever you did to send this message, you did it right, that's as complex as it should be, no need for you to read a tutorial :) <br><br>The idea is that if you can send and reply to emails you can use a mailing list to the extent you require.<br>
<br>I understand how the activity from today could seem confusing, this seems to be down to a setting in an as yet unknown mail client. <br>Sorry for any confusion or inconvenience this has caused. Sometimes situations like this can cause spam detection and prevention tools to kick in.<br>

    To be honest I don't get it either, my inbox is now full with this

      Just reply to the existing thread rather than sending a new mail
      to the mailing list. If this is what you are doing perhaps there
      is some problem with your mail client. A google search should turn
      up any mail client problems, or further mailing list

            I can't use mailing lists properly... hate this things with
            a passion!  How do I reply into the thread?<br>
            <br>
            In terms of your suggested structure... I agree that it
            would be good to start off with something structured and
            your suggestion looks friendly to those who have just
            started using arduino<br>

I can certainly put something together for this, although there may (almost certainly) be someone with better knowledge than I out there who would do a better job than me!
