Mailing List

There are two parts to this document: the first short part is on how 
to SEND MAIL to the list, the second is on how to send COMMANDS 
to the list.  If you loose this file then you can get the same 
information again by sending a HELP command to the list manager 
as is shown below.    


SENDING MAIL TO THE LIST
========================

To send a message to all nmrview list members, use a message
with the following form:

 --------------------------------------------------------------
       From: Peter Rabbit 
         To: nmrview@onemoonscientific.com
    Subject: PROBLEM WITH LOADING PRODUCT

    Can anybody help me unzip my file?
 --------------------------------------------------------------


===============================================================
===============================================================

SENDING COMMANDS TO THE LIST
============================


All of the following sections deal with how to send a command to 
the list.  You have already done this if you subscribed to the 
list yourself. 

Commands are written in the BODY of a normal email message. The 
email message is then sent to the list manager's special email 
address:
   nmrview-request@onemoonscientific.com
 
The list manager controls who belongs to the list and what options
you as a subscriber have set.  The list manager has no ego so 
please feel free to send messages whenever you like... :-)



Leaving the list (unsubscribing)
================================

To stop receiving messages from the nmrview list you will 
need to send a message to the list manager.  For example:

 --------------------------------------------------------------
       From: Peter Rabbit 
         To: nmrview-request@onemoonscientific.com
    Subject: 

    unsubscribe
 --------------------------------------------------------------

If you are still getting messages after you have received a 
message saying you are no longer a member of this list, it could 
be that you are subscribed by a different email address.  Send
a 'who' request to the nmrview-request@onemoonscientific.com address and find your
old name, then send an unsubscribe request like this:
 --------------------------------------------------------------
       From: Peter Rabbit 
         To: nmrview-request@onemoonscientific.com
    Subject: 

    unsubscribe %%h_user%%
 --------------------------------------------------------------


Who Command 
=================
(Seeing who else is on this list)

If you would like a list of all the email addresses of people on 
the nmrview list then you can send the WHO command 
to the list manager.  Here is an example:

--------------------------------------------------------------
       From: Peter Rabbit 
         To: nmrview-request@onemoonscientific.com
    Subject: (anything)

    who
--------------------------------------------------------------
You will then receive an email message listing all the members, 
however this command is not always available.


Lists Command 
=============
(Finding out what other lists are available on this server)

If you would like a list of all the lists (just trying to confuse
you there) which are run by the server that is handling this list 
then you can send the LISTS command to the list manager.  Here 
is how:

--------------------------------------------------------------
       From: Peter Rabbit 
         To: nmrview-request@onemoonscientific.com
    Subject: 

    lists
--------------------------------------------------------------


Requesting Files
================

This list has a set of files associated with it.  These files may
for example contain new software releases, or be an archive of 
recent messages to the list etc.  The list server provides two 
commands to allow you to collect these file: DIR and GET
If you wish to obtain a list of all the files associated with 
this list, send the following message to the list manager:

--------------------------------------------------------------
       From: Peter Rabbit 
         To: nmrview-request@onemoonscientific.com
    Subject: 

    dir
--------------------------------------------------------------

Now you know the names of the files, you can request one or more 
to be sent to you using the GET command. This command has 
the following syntax:

get 

If you request the files they will be sent to you as attachments 
to an email message.  For example to have dmail.zip
you could send the following email:

 --------------------------------------------------------------
       From: Peter Rabbit 
         To: nmrview-request@onemoonscientific.com
    Subject: 

    get dmail.zip 
 --------------------------------------------------------------


Synonyms of the Commands
========================

Most of the commands have a number of synonyms which you can use 
to effect the same command.  They all take the same syntax as the
commands given in the examples above.

You may find it useful to use some of them if they are used by 
other lists that you are a member of.

Here is a list of the commands and their synonyms(if they have 
any):

help:
join		subscribe,sub
leave		unsubscribe,unsub,leave,signoff,remove
who		enumerate,review,who
dir		index
get		send

The messages to the mailing list are not currently archived but we hope to have this feature soon.
