15 How do I subscribe to the boatanchors mailing list?
(March '96). The following instructions are the last information I
have, and have been in this FAQ since this version of the mail list was
set up in the fall of 1994. However, this list is being converted to
"subscription only" as of March 15, 1996. "Subscription only" means
"send money." I do not know how the listowner plans to handle new
subscribers after March 15.
To subscribe to the boatanchors mail list send e-mail to
listproc@theporch.com. Put the following in the body of the mail
message:
subscribe boatanchors
(the following is abstracted from the listproc response from
theporch.com).
Please *do not* submit such administrative messages to the whole
list! Such messages only irritate the readers. If you remember
only one thing from this message, remember that a "Help" message
to the list processor (listproc@theporch.com) will get you
instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your address.
This subscription is available in two formats. The first, also the
default is to have each posting to the list mailed to you seperately. If
you want it like that, you don't have to do anything. The second option
is to receive digests which means the messages are collected and mailed
out to you only if it exceeds a length limit or a time limit (one day).
To change to the digest form, sent email to listproc@theporch.com with
the following:
set boatanchors mail digest
If you want to temporarly suspend receiving the list but don't want to
sign off the list, you can set your mail to postpone by sending email
to listproc@theporch.com with the following in the body of the mail:
set boatanchors mail postpone
This will stay in effect until you change your mail status to one of:
ack noack or digest (ack the default reflects your posting to
the list back to you)
