Date: Thu, 14 May 92 16:18:36 EDT From: DJ Delorie To: djgpp-announce AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Subject: djgpp-announce mailing list Status: O This is a test message to the newly-created djgpp-announce list. The purpose of this list is to provide a way for people to get djgpp related announcements without the current level of bug discussions and other trivia. Posting to this list is requested to be limited to announcements of new djgpp modules, upgrades, and ports of other applications to djgpp. Bug reports and requests for help should go to djgpp. Members of djgpp are automatically copied on all posts to the djgpp-announce list, so if you join djgpp-announce you will get two of everything, and if you're on djgpp you'll automatically get djgpp-announce mail also. If you wish to be on the djgpp-announce list instead of the djgpp list, send mail to listserv AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu: $ mail listserv AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Subject: delete djgpp add djgpp-announce ^D DJ dj AT ctron DOT com Life is a Banana. -- Here's the help message from listserv: To: dj AT ctron DOT com Subject: Re: your LISTSERVE request "help" You can subscribe or unsubscribe to any of the various campus mailing lists and the local redistributions of global mailing lists by sending email to "listserv AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu". The commands understood by the listserv program are: HELP lists this file. This is also sent whenever a message to listserv is received from which no valid command could be parsed. HELP groupname lists a brief description of the group requested. INDEX lists all the groups available for subscription. LONGINDEX lists all the groups and their descriptions. ADD listname DELETE listname ADD address listname DELETE address listname adds or deletes the given address to or from the list specified. Mail is sent to the address given to confirm the add or delete operation. We strongly recommend that you use your campus registered mailname when subscribing (i.e., use the second form of the command which includes a specification of the address). If you omit the 'address' the command will assume the mailbox that is in the From: line of the message. Note that SUBSCRIBE is a synonym for ADD; UNSUBSCRIBE for DELETE. A command must be the first word on each line in the message. Lines which do not start with a command word are ignored. If no commands were found in the entire message, this help file will be returned to the user. A single message may contain multiple commands; a separate response will be sent for each. Please note that is IS possible to add or delete someone else's subscription to a mailing list. This facility is provided so that subscribers may alter their own subscriptions from a new or different computer account. There is therefore some potential for abuse; we have chosen to limit this by mailing a confirmation notification of any addition or deletion to the address added or deleted including a copy of the message which requested the operation. At least you can find out who's doing it to you. Examples: add freemacs add ewombat freemacs
