GREETINGS FOR THE HOLIDAY

I hope all of you are enjoying the last bit of 1996, and wish everyone the
very best for 1997. I just have a couple of things to mention, so this
won't be a long message.

The digest version of these lists is currently NOT working. Until you are
notified differently do not try to set yourself up on the digest, you won't
get any mail.

I just sent in a slightly revised welcome message for the list. It should
be available within a couple of days. If you need a copy of the message for
your files send the following message:

Mailto:
Subject: send
Body: send ListName.HI

Anywhere in this message that you see the word ListName you should
substitute the name of the surname list you are subscribed to, i.e. if you
are on the BEERS list, change ListName to BEERS for any of the addresses or
commands.

These lists are not exceptionally active, it is not uncommon to go for
several days without messages. If you are worried that you may not be on
the list any longer, send a "review" message as shown further down in this
message.

When you respond to a message on the list it automatically goes to the
originator only. To send a copy of the response to the list in general, you
have to manually add the list address to your response.

MESSAGE ADDRESSES:

Mail Messages to the list go to:
Commands go to:

If you're on other mail lists you've probably noticed people sending unsub
and sub messages and other commands to you and everyone on the list. But
that just doesn't do it, since you have to send your command to the right
address. Luckily we don't have that problem on our lists, but just keep the
difference in mind. These same addresses apply for any mail list on the
"maiser" server.

SOME COMMANDS:

To unsubscribe from the list:
Mail to:
Subject: blank (not read by system)
Message body: UNSUB ListName

To get a copy of the ListName list welcome message (lists some other commands):
Mail to:
Subject: blank (not read by system)
Message body: SEND ListName.HI

To make sure you are still subscribed (if you haven't been getting any mail):
Mail to:
Subject: blank (not read by system)
Message body: REVIEW

Then when you get a response from the server, check for your e-mail
address. If it isn't there, subscribe again and all will be well.

If you need something specific in connection with the list, or have some
problem, send a message to with the List Name in the
subject line.

Thanks, good family hunting, and have fun!

Chet
