"Add a new profile" gives you the option of creating a profile to be used just for this group. You might want to do this to protect your privacy, for example, if your Yahoo! ID contains your complete name, but you don't want your whole name to be known to members of the group.
The default address is your Yahoo! address. If you have just created this, if you go to http://mail.yahoo.com, you will see that you have a new web mail account. You can use this for receiving mail from WELL (or for any other purpose you like), OR you can choose any other address you would like the messages to go to. Other addresses must be "verified"--if you click this option, a message will be send to that address, which you will have to open and click on.
As it says, you can choose how you want the mail delivered. If you are not sure which one to choose, try any one and see how you like it. Remember that you can always change it later from the WELL JAPAN page.
Basically, the "Fully Featured" option means that you can see font in different sizes and colors, while "traditional" will give you just plain black-and-white simple print.
Don't forget to click "Join".
