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).
