Posting to Debian lists without getting mail

I often want to ask a question on a non-public Debian list but I don't follow the list actively so I don't really want to continually get the lists' mail. Mailman lets you turn on or off mail delivery but Debian's SmartList doesn't. What can I do? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
