==================================================
OFFLINE MAIL LIST HELP FILE
This is a list for "offline discussion". If you need help,
ask for it offline. But don't expect to get any help.
1. SUBSCRIBE
You can subscribe to the offline mail list by sending a message to
the list's "request" address, [email protected].
The subject line of your message should contain the word "subscribe".
The body of the message should contain a subscription command,
which has the following form:
subscribe YOUR_ADDRESS LIST_NAME
For example, if your e-mail address is "[email protected]" you
would subscribe to the offline list by sending a note to
"[email protected]" with the subject line "subscribe" and the
contents as follows:
subscribe [email protected] offline
(Your personal name should not be specified; only your electronic mail
address is needed for subscription.) Subscriptions take effect
immediately, beginning with the next message posted to the list.
2. UNSUBSCRIBE
You may remove yourself from the mail list at any time by similarly sending
an "unsubscribe" message, for example, assuming your address is
"[email protected]" you would unsubscribe by sending the following
message to the same address "[email protected]":
unsubscribe [email protected] offline
3. POST MESSAGES
When you wish to post a message to the list itself (i.e., to the
subscribers), send it to "[email protected]", not to the request
address, "[email protected]". The "-request" address is
only for subscription and unsubscription.
4. CAVEAT EMPTOR
There is no help, and complaints will be steadfastly ignored. After all,
you're OFF LINE.
The subscription mechanism is very literal, and it doesn't know about all
the aliases by which you may be known. Therefore when you subscribe please
make a note of your precise subscription address. You will not be able to
unsubscribe without matching the precise address by which you subscribed.
For example, if you subscribe as "[email protected]" then you will NOT
be able to unsubscribe by the name "[email protected]", or by
"[email protected]" or any other such mis-matched address.
And if you can't unsubscribe, that's tough, because you're OFF LINE.
6. NOTES
The mail lists are not serviced by a LISTSERV type of server. The command
set of the server is limited to simple requests for addition & removal.
There is no digest mode. The list of subscribers is not available.
Messages are usually archived on a temporary basis, but the archives are
not currently available for downloading; and there are no plans to make
them available.
