You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF TFTD-L" command to LISTSERV@TAMVM1.BITNET (or LISTSERV@TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU). Please note that this command must NOT be sent to the list address (TFTD-L@TAMVM1) but to the LISTSERV address (LISTSERV@TAMVM1). The amount of acknowledgement you wish to receive from this list upon completion of a mailing operation can be changed by means of a "SET TFTD-L option" command, where "option" may be either "ACK" (mail acknowledgement), "MSGACK" (interactive messages only) or "NOACK". 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 network address and name of all the subscribers. If you do not wish your name to be available to others in this fashion, just issue a "SET TFTD-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@TAMVM1.BITNET (or LISTSERV@TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU).

From owner-tftd-l@TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU Wed Jul 27 14:54:51 1994 Reply-To: Dan Galvin Sender: THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Subject: Thought For The Day To: Multiple recipients of list TFTD-L There have been some changes in Thought for the Day - List (TFTD-L) and some more are coming. Texas A&M is no longer on BITNET. This caused those on BITNET to miss a few days of TFTD-L at the first of this month. The UNIX system from which TFTD-L originates is going away and TFTD-L is moving to TAM2000.tamu.edu. In addition I will be out of town July 30 - August 6 so TFTD-L will be on full auto-pilot. If you have the option of using either a BITNET address or an INTERNET address you may wish to sign-off the BITNET address and then sign-on from the INTERNET address. Remember, nothing is expected to go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong,... but be prepared.

Please save this message for future reference, especially if you are not familiar with LISTSERV. This might look like a waste of disk space now, but in 6 months you will be glad you saved this information when you realize that you cannot remember what are the lists you are subscribed to, or what is the command to leave the list to avoid filling up your mailbox while you are on vacations. In fact, you should create a new mail folder for subscription confirmation messages like this one, and for 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 TFTD-L@TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU. 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 (TFTD-L@TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU) 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@TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU. 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 make your FAX call someone's regular phone number by mistake, it will be an unpleasant experience for him but you will probably be excused the first time. If you do it regularly, however, he will probably get 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 TFTD-L" command to LISTSERV@TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU. 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 TFTD-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 TFTD-L. If you send a "SET TFTD-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 TFTD-L NOACK NOREPRO". Please note that it is presently possible for anybody 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 TFTD-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@TAMVM1.TAMU.EDU.

(If you have not received such a notice you will some time between now and six months from now so read and heed.) Many are having problems CONFIRMing because the address where the TFTD is being received is not _identical_ to the address in the TFTD-L list. D O N O T P A N I C One easy way to solve the problem is to reSUBscribe to the list from your present address. You may want to wait until Monday, April 29th to do so because until the LISTSERV deletes the old address you will receive two copies of the TFTD. Request needs to go to LISTSERV@TAMU.EDU and have your name (two parts). See full directions below: Subscribe by sending the following to LISTSERV@TAMU.EDU sub TFTD-L Full Name <----- 'Full Name' must contain more than one element // eoj <----- Keeps LISTSERV from processing your Sig-File as commands To UNSubscribe send the following to LISTSERV@TAMU.EDU uns TFTD-L // eoj If you still have problems then send a message to dan.galvin@tamu.edu and I will add you manually as time permits. Be sure to indicate that you have tried to SUBscribe or I will just send these instructions to you again. I would prefer that you send me the response as to why it didn't work so we can solve the problem as this CONFIRM/reSUBscribe will be something you will need to do every six months. -TFTD Computing and Information Services Texas A&M University Dan Galvin College Station, TX 77843-3142 (409) 845-8448 dan-galvin@tamu.edu From owner-tftd-l@tamu.edu Sat May 10 10:19:24 1997 X-Sender: galvin@unix.tamu.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" X-Ph: V4.1@mail.tamu.edu Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Mime-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by postal.tamu.edu id MAA19581 Approved-By: Dan Galvin Reply-To: Dan Galvin Sender: Thought For The Day Subject: TFTD-L Administrative Note - Please Read Before Subscribing to the ArchieK List To: TFTD-L@tamu.edu I recently sent the following appended to the the tftd.
