 Dear Dr. Peng,
 among the several mailing lists there's a Structural Biology List which
 may fit your purpose. Here is how the welcome message sounds like:

 ********* Welcome to the Structural Biology Mailing List! *********
 You have been added to this list. Welcome on board! Hope you would
 enjoy this list.
 The following text is a brief introduction to the structural
 biology list. Keeping it will be certainly helpful.

 1. About the structural biology list
 This mailing list is organized for structural biologists. All the
 concerned researchers are encouraged to take part in. The supposed
 topics include:
 o Macromolecular crystallography
 o NMR and other spectroscopies
 o Molecular modeling and design
 o Structure-based drug design and QSAR
 o Bioinformatics
 o Theoretical and computational biology
 To send your mail to everyone in the list, please mail to:
 sbl $#at#$ ipc.pku.edu.cn
 If you have any problem or special request, please mail to:
 owner $#at#$ ipc.pku.edu.cn
 2. How to subscribe/unsubscribe
 To subscribe, just send a short mail to owner $#at#$ ipc.pku.edu.cn like
 this, "Please add me to the SBL ...". (This list is not maintained
 by a cool program but a kind young person.) Please state clearly
 your name, title, address, country, e-mail and academic interests.
 These information will be summarized in a certain database.
 To leave this list, please send a mail to owner $#at#$ ipc.pku.edu.cn,
 saying "Mmm, I am tired ..." or "I am leaving on vacation
 ..." or
 anything that can make it clear.
 3. General rules
 As a member of this list, please feel free to forward any question
 or propose any discussion concerning with structural biology.
 If you have received enough answers to your question, please
 summarize it and send it back to the list so that everybody can
 learn from it. You have the right to forward questions and you
 have the responsibility to offer what you know when you see a
 question. Conference announcements or product advertisements
 are proper for the list too.
 Please bear in mind that the SBL is unsupervised, which means ANY
 mail sent to the list will be automatically forwarded to everyone.
 So please do not send junk mail to the list. The owner of the SBL
 will keep an eye on this and get rid of those trouble-makers.
 Try to be ACTIVE. An active mailing list will be really helpful.
 Or this can be understood in a thermodynamic view: We, all the
 members of SBL, form a close system. Information (negative entropy)
 is generated continuously inside this system. Therefore according
 to the Second Law, energy must be put into this system to keep it
 and develope it.  The energy comes from you, from me, from the
 love heart of everyone. :-)
 4. About the list owner
 The structural biology list is sponsored by Prof. Luhua Lai and
 Mr. Arthur Wang. It is maintained by Mr. Arthur Wang, who is
 an energetic doctoral student. (arthur $#at#$ ipc.pku.edu.cn). Any
 comments on this list will be welcome.
 The mail server locates at the Institute of Physical Chemistry,
 Peking University, Beijing, China. We have maintained an on-line
 bioinformatics server here: http://162.105.177.12/mirror/mirror.html
 At present, we are the formal mirror site of PDB and SCOP in China.
 Some other important databases, such as PIR, SWISSPROT, ENZYME,
 PROSITE and BLOCKS, are available too.  Maybe you can save your
 network resources by visiting our server.
 ---------------------------- The End -------------------------------
 As you read, you may subscribe sending a message such as "Please subscribe
 me to this list..." to owner $#at#$ ipc.pku.edu.cn.
 Hope this helps.
 Bye,
 Gianluca Sbardella
