Summary: Info by Email

Organization: American Radio Relay League

We're trying out a new service.  We've made available a number of
text files containing information about various facets of Amateur
Radio.  You can retrieve these files selectively by sending an
email message to ARRL HQ.  Each file you request is then mailed to
you automatically, usually within a few hours.

Here are copies of the current "help" and "index" responses of
the info mail server.  They should get you started.  Enjoy!
=====================================================================
INFO is a service of ARRL HQ.  To use it, mail messages to:
   info@arrl.org
Each line of the message should contain a command as shown below.
You may place as many commands in a message as you want.  Each file
you request will be sent to you in a separate message.  Only ASCII
text files are supported at present.

Valid INFO commands:

help             Sends this help file
index            Sends an index of the files available from INFO
send file        Sends the specified file
quit             Terminates the transaction (use this is you have
                 a signature or other text at the end of the message.)
