McGee * Replace the corresponding list name and your name in the example above. * To un-subscribe, send a one line message to the appropriate address that looks like this: * SIGNOFF AFRICA-L * Replace the corresponding list name in the example above. * NOTE: Not all of the lists accept the simple SUBSCRIBE and SIGNOFF commands, so read any information you receive back from the server carefully when you signup. For example, EGYPT-NET requires a subject of either EGYPT-NET-REQUEST[ADD] or EGYPT-NET-REQUEST[REMOVE] and a message body of ">>> (LastName, FirstName) your_e-mail_address." So for me to ADD or REMOVE myself from EGYPT-NET the message body would look like this: * >>> (McGee, Arthur) amcgee@eis.calstate.edu * NOTE: INTERCUL's ComServe listserver uses the commands JOIN and DROP instead of ListServ's SUBSCRIBE and SIGNOFF, respectively. * NOTE: PACKET-RADIO's ListServ and request addresses require that you remove your name from the end of the SUB command line. Also, you may explicitly place the email address to add to the list between the SUB command and the list name. * So, to subscribe to PACKET-RADIO, use this format as an example, using your email address in place of mine: * SUB PACKET-RADIO or SUB amcgee@eis.calstate.edu PACKET-RADIO * And to remove yourself from PACKET-RADIO, use the DELETE command instead of the ListServ SIGNOFF command. * NOTE: If you are on BITnet use the portion of the address just before and just after the @ or %, whichever comes first, for those lists that don't have an alternate address on BITnet. * So, in this email address: listserv@harvarda.harvard.edu * You would address it as: listserv@harvarda or listserv@harvarda.bitnet * And for this address: listserv%wmvm1.bitnet@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu * You would address it as: listserv@wmvm1 or listserv@wmvm1.bitnet * * Art "Rambo" McGee * * NETCOM: [amcgee@netcom.com] (ftp.netcom.com in pub/amcgee for my "stuff") CTP/CORE: [amcgee@eis.calstate.edu] (Experimental system for education/tech) PeaceNet: [igc:amcgee] (Best place to find Int'l Development related info) WELL: [amcgee] (May be hosting a Black or African oriented conference) AfriInfo: [mcgee@epsilon.eecs.nwu.edu] (Email/Finger for Black/African Info) BDPA BAC: [1-707-552-3314] to [Arthur McGee] (Co-Sysop.
