hmm... I think that's only because the link was at the end of a line.
I have changed this now, does it look better now?

I'm confused. What exactly do you mean? The link for the Octave
mailing list page is there and so is the one for the archives. Could
you write down what exactly would you have on that page?

Anyway, I'd hope to get rid of this page altogether. The only reason I
haven't done it yet is that it's hardcoded in all pages and at the
moment I don't have the time to hack something for it. Same goes with
the bugs and FAQ pages which I recently changed to almost nothing.
Such instructions would fit better on another place.
