==================================
How do I subscribe to TechComm?
==================================
You can subscribe to TechComm by sending a message to:
list -at- user -dot- itconsult -dot- co -dot- uk
Make sure that your message has no entry in its subject line, and that you
type JOIN TECHCOMM into the body of the message (you can use
SUBSCRIBE instead of JOIN if you wish).
====================================
How do I leave the TechComm list?
====================================
To leave the TechComm list, send a message to:
list -at- user -dot- itconsult -dot- co -dot- uk
Make sure that your message has no entry in its subject line, and that you
type LEAVE TECHCOMM into the body of the message (you can use
UNSUBSCRIBE instead of LEAVE if you wish).
======================================
How do I send messages to the list?
======================================
Having subscribed to the list, send your messages to:
techcomm -at- user -dot- itconsult -dot- co -dot- uk
It would be helpful if you preceded the subject line of your messages
with "TC" so that they may be identified by the members.
========================================
Is the list available in digest form?
========================================
Yes. To receive the TechComm digest rather than individual messages,
send a message to:
list -at- user -dot- itconsult -dot- co -dot- uk
with the command DIGEST TECHCOMM in the body of the message. Don't
enter a subject for your message.
To stop receiving the digest and to go back to receiving individual
messages you will have to leave the list and then re-join. This process is
described above.
=========================================
What other list commands are available?
==========================================
For a full list of TechComm list commands, send a message to:
list -at- user -dot- itconsult -dot- co -dot- uk
with HELP in the first line of the message body. Do not give your
message a subject heading.
=================================
Help! Help! I need more help!
=================================
If you need any further help, send to a message to Mike Bygrave
(bygravem -at- intuitive -dot- co -dot- uk) or Iain Harrison (iharrison -at- sct -dot- co -dot- uk). We're
nice blokes, so we'll try to tell you what you need to know.
