The MLA site (http://www.mla.org) does have some info on this, which can be found at

http://www.mla.org/www_mla_org/style/style_main.asp?level=2&mode=page&page=1&link=sty72800121438&section=sty51800124510

(The link may have to be copied to notepad and copied from there to the browser in order for it to work -- the reference can also be found by going to www.mla.org > MLA STYLE > Frequently Asked Questions About MLA Style > HOW DO I DOCUMENT SOURCES FROM THE WORLD WIDE WEB IN MY WORKS-CITED LIST?)

The page also has a sample citation from a discussion list.

Cheers,

Juan

   I'm trying to put the finishing touches on an article on Pnin and
 realize I don't know how to refer to Nabokv-L.  What is it?  "An
 electronic server"?  I'm also wondering if you recall any discussions on
 how to cite Nabokv-L (and other beasts in its species).
        thanks,
                Eric

EDITOR: I think the newest MLA Handbook has guidelines for this. Maybe
someone has the answer at her fingertips. The list's name is "The  Nabokov
Electronic Discussion Forum". I see that Brian Boyd's recent PALE FIRE book
cites the list in the format "Nabokv-L ([email-masked], 10
December 1997.
