What mail reader are you using? In RN and TRN the command is c and it will
ask  you if you are sure you want to do that.

To send email to a GEnie account, append "@genie.geis.com" to the
recipient's GEnie address.

However, the catch is that GEnie users have to agree to pay an extra
monthly charge before they can send or receive Internet mail.  Not a great
bargain, particularly compared to rival Compuserve -- which is
particularly odd since in most other respects GEnie seems to be going for
the low-price market niche.  (They certainly aren't selling system response.)

I'm not sure if this is the best or only place to ask this question.
So my first question is where else ought I to post this question?

The real question is:  What options are there for connecting to
the net from home to some service?  I now just dial in to the
system where I work, but I'd like to know what other resources exist
so I can look into them and their costs especially.

Thanks.

I use a unix machine to ftp to various sites.  
My problem is that while I am proficient at getting 
what I want from where it is at,  I am not truely versed in ftp commands.
  As examples: I do not know how to read a file that is at another 
site other than to transfer the file to my own site, exit ftp, 
and then read the file. Kind of awkward. 
Also, I do not know how to change my home directory or check
my own computer directories when I am linked to another site.
  The ftp help command is somewhat useful, but it is lacking;
assuming that there are more commands than those listed.
Reply direct to me if you wish. I am looking for files, groups, 
BOOKS, or any other info that is readily available that I have
obviously overlooked.

Keep flames to yourselves if I have tread on something/someone 
mistakenly.  If we were all perfect and all knowing we wouldn't
need the internet.

Before doing anything drastic you migh consider contacting your own
site's sysadmin to ask him/her how to use mail fiters.  There are
filter programs which you can use to even discard all mail without
seeing it if it comes from a paticular user.  You might even set it
up to bounce the message back, but that requires some programming
skills.  As an archive site and newsgroup moderator I have to
automatically sort my mail influx with a filter, but it also comes
handy to ward off the pests.

But please do not ask me for the technical details or for individual
tutoring on setting it up.  Unfortunately I cannot afford the time. 
As I said, ask your local sysadmin about mail filters. 

   All the best, Timo

.tar.Z files are files that have first been tarred, this a a sort of archiving

I don't know if tar and compress exist on the Vax/VMS. They would not be
standard packages, certainly. Ask your system administrator if he happens to
have installed them.

Here is a problem, if anyone can help me solve it, great!

I currently log on to a local Unix system that gets it's news and internet mail feed by calling another system. I read my news with 'trn'.

Basically what I would like to be able to do is this:
	
Have trn automatically go through all the newsgroups I am subscribed to, and save all the messages to a file (with threads). I would then download htis file and read it offline with an application that would allow easy maneuvering through 
the threads.

I am using a Macintosh.

If anyone knows up a program that can do this, please let me know, and IF possible UUencode it, and email it to me...

Thanks alot...

Will this gateway to prodigy only allow email to/from the

sites from prodigy (once it is working of course)?  
Or am i totally out in left field here? 

The reason I ask is that my brother is subscribing to 
prodigy soon and he was asking about how he could read
news on the internet.  I haven't been able to find any
public access sites in his area yet so I thought this might
offer a solution...

I tried it last Friday and got a bounced message back today.  The error
said that gateway would not accept the note, it apparently can be seen
but does not pass mail at this time.

If your only reason for subscribing to Prodigy is to get Internet resources,
don't.  My guess is that the Prodigy gateway will be modeled after the
Compu$erve one, and that (to my knowledge) is strictly a mail gateway.
There are also complex issues involved if you give Prodigy users Net access,
especially ones that pertain to the original charter of the Internet (i.e.
commercialism).
Anyway, the average Prodigy user is simply an average American, ignorant that
a thing called the Internet even exists.

Bengt, do you really believe this?  Do you really believe that 
publications would give away advertising if only the readers wanted
to see it?

Try this economic model on for size.  Advertising is sold so that you
the reader don't have to foot the whole bill for the publication.
Surprise!!  There are plenty of journals out there that do not accept
advertising and thus make the subscriber foot the bill.  Prices
are in all cases higher than equivalent commercial journals.

If Usenet users ever had to quit freeloading off the governments, the 
universities and/or their employers and had to pay for their access,
paid advertising might look interesting.

	Why worry about a few AD's, this thread has consumed so much band
width already, I don't think you'd notice an AD amongst it all. :)

	Maybe if we all post so much nobody will notice any AD's that
