8-2. What is a cryomsg? How do I fetch one?
There has been a cryonics mailing list since July 1988. To get current
information about the mailing list, send email to majordomo@cryonet.org
with the message body "info cryonet". To subscribe to the mailing
list, send email to majordomo@cryonet.org with the message body
"subscribe cryonet". Most Cryomsg's are archived messages from this
mailing list.
To get a cryomsg, send mail to kqb@cryonet.org with the subject
"CRYOMSG nnn nnn" where the nnn's are the numbers of the cryomsg's you
want. (Some cryomsg's are at an old site. For these cryomsg's, the
response to the mail to kqb@cryonet.org will be instructions for
fetching the cryomsg from the old site, instead of the cryomsg you want.)
Also, all cryomsg's referenced in this FAQ (and a few others) are
available by anonymous FTP from pop.cs.cmu.edu, directory
"/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/tsf/Public-Mail/cryonics/archive".
You will need to give the entire directory path at once to FTP, rather
than the commands "cd /afs" "cd cs.cmu.edu" and so forth, because the
directories at the beginning of the path are protected from anonymous FTP
access. Cryomsgs numbers 100, 200, ..., 900 have one line summaries of the
preceding 100 cryomsg's. Message number 0000 has a top level index,
and message number 0001 has the subjects of all of the messages. Message 0004
has a list of cryonics suspension organizations and also
cryonics-related organizations and publications. Message 0005 is
entitled "Suggested reference messages for new subscribers".
