Please read the list guidelines (see below) before engaging in discussion.
In addition, familiarize yourself with how the list operates, especially if
you've never participated in an Internet email discussion group before.
It's a good idea to save this message somewhere so you know how to
unsubscribe.
When dealing with a listserver, there are two types of messages, namely,
COMMANDS and POSTS. Unlike traditional listservers which require the
use of numerous email addresses, we have simplified the process by
allowing for both both COMMANDS and POSTS to be sent to the same address.
COMMANDS
These e-mail messages are intended to cause some action to occur, such as
subscribing the FROM address to a mailing list. Commands are usually one or
two word phrases which should be entered in the SUBJECT field of the message.
Any other fields are ignored... it doesn't matter what you put in them.
The following commands are accepted:
subscribe
adds your e-mail address to the list of subscribers
you will then receive all posts
you are then allowed to post from that address
unsubscribe
removes your e-mail address from the list of subscribers
you will no longer receive any posts
you are no longer allowed to post
subscribe digest
switches you to digest mode
you will then receive one message per day which lists all posts
to switch back, send a "subscribe" command
digests
returns a list of digests for the past 30 days along with
instructions for retreiving them via e-mail
help
this message will be returned
POSTS
Email messages which don't match any commands are distributed to everyone on
the list.
Every time you post a message, hundreds of other people on the list receive a
copy, just as if you sent it to them personally. As a member of the list, you
will receive a copy of every message anyone else sends. On this list, only
members of the list can post to it.
To correspond directly with a person, write to listmaster@consensus.com
