Here you are:

Your subscription to the PMMAIL-L  list (PMMAIL Discussion List) has
been
accepted.

Please save this message for future  reference, especially if this is
the
first time you subscribe to an  electronic mailing list. If you ever
need
to  leave the  list,  you  will find  the  necessary instructions
below.
Perhaps  more importantly,  saving a  copy of  this message  (and of
all
future subscription notices  from other mailing lists) in  a special
mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that
you
are subscribed  to. This may  prove very useful the  next time you  go
on
vacation and  need to leave  the lists temporarily so  as not to  fill
up
your  mailbox while  you  are away!  You should  also  save the
"welcome
messages" from the  list owners that you will  occasionally receive
after
subscribing to a new list.

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the
list,
just send mail to PMMAIL-L@VM.EGE.EDU.TR. This is called "sending mail
to
the list", because  you send mail to a single  address and LISTSERV
makes
copies   for  all   the  people   who  have   subscribed.  This
address
(PMMAIL-L@VM.EGE.EDU.TR)  is also  called  the "list  address". You
must
never try to send any command to that address, as it would be
distributed
to all the people  who have subscribed. All commands must  be sent to
the
"LISTSERV  address", LISTSERV@VM.EGE.EDU.TR  (or
LISTSERV@TREARN.BITNET).
It is  very important to understand  the difference between the  two,
but
fortunately it  is not complicated.  The LISTSERV  address is like  a
FAX
number,  and  the list  address  is  like a  normal  phone  line. If
you
accidentally  make  your  FAX  call  someone's  voice  line,  the
person
receiving the  call will be annoyed.  If you do this  regularly,
however,
your  victim will  probably  get seriously  upset and  send  you a
nasty
complaint. It  is the same with  mailing lists, with the  difference
that
you are calling  hundreds or thousands of  people at the same  time, so
a
lot more people get annoyed if you use the wrong number.

You  may leave  the list  at  any time  by sending  a "SIGNOFF
PMMAIL-L"
command  to LISTSERV@VM.EGE.EDU.TR  (or LISTSERV@TREARN.BITNET).  You
can
also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of messages
you
send to the  list. If you do  not trust the system, send  a "SET
PMMAIL-L
REPRO" command and LISTSERV will send you a copy of your own messages,
so
that you can see that the message was distributed and did not get
damaged
on the  way. After a  while you may find  that this is  getting
annoying,
especially if  your mail program  does not tell  you that the  message
is
from you when it informs you that  new mail has arrived from PMMAIL-L.
If
you send a  "SET PMMAIL-L ACK NOREPRO" command, LISTSERV  will mail you
a
short acknowledgement instead, which will  look different in your
mailbox
directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this
is
an  acknowledgement  you  can  read  later. Finally,  you  can  turn
off
acknowledgements completely with "SET PMMAIL-L NOACK NOREPRO".

Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription
options
have been set to "MIME" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For
more
information about  subscription options, send a  "QUERY PMMAIL-L"
command
to LISTSERV@VM.EGE.EDU.TR (or LISTSERV@TREARN.BITNET).

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get
a
list  of the  available  archive  files by  sending  an "INDEX
PMMAIL-L"
command  to LISTSERV@VM.EGE.EDU.TR  (or LISTSERV@TREARN.BITNET).  You
can
then order  these files with a  "GET PMMAIL-L LOGxxxx" command,  or
using
LISTSERV's database  search facilities.  Send an "INFO  DATABASE"
command
for more information on the latter.

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive
the
digested  version of  the  postings,  just issue  a  SET PMMAIL-L
DIGEST
command.

Please note that  it is presently possible for other  people to
determine
that  you are  signed up  to the  list through  the use  of the
"REVIEW"
command,  which  returns   the  e-mail  address  and  name   of  all
the
subscribers. If  you do not  want your name to  be visible, just  issue
a
"SET PMMAIL-L CONCEAL" command.

More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the
LISTSERV
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO
REFCARD"
command to LISTSERV@VM.EGE.EDU.TR (or LISTSERV@TREARN.BITNET).
