Titolo: You are now subscribed to the BUILDER-DISPATCH list

Fri, 23 Apr 1999 10:08:06
Your subscription  to the  BUILDER-DISPATCH list (CNET  Builder Dispatch)
has been accepted.
Please save this message for future  reference, especially if this is the
first time you are subscribing to an electronic mailing list. If you ever
need to leave  the list, you will find the  necessary instructions below.
Perhaps  more importantly,  saving a  copy of  this message  (and of  all
future subscription notices  from other mailing lists) in  a special mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you
are subscribed  to. This may  prove very useful the  next time you  go on
vacation and  need to leave  the lists temporarily so  as not to  fill up
your  mailbox while  you  are away!  You should  also  save 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  
BUILDER-...@DISPATCH.CNET.COM
.  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  (
BUILDER-...@DISPATCH.CNET.COM
) 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," 
LIST...@DISPATCH.CNET.COM
. 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 that connects you to a machine, whereas the list address is like a
normal voice line connecting  you to a person. If you  make a mistake and
dial the FAX number when you wanted  to talk to someone on the phone, you
will quickly  realize that you used  the wrong number and  call again. No
harm will have been done. If on the other hand you accidentally make your
FAX call  someone's voice  line, the  person receiving  the call  will be
inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes. The
fact that  most people  will eventually  connect the  FAX machine  to the
voice line to  allow the FAX to  go through and make the  calls stop does
not mean  that you  should continue  to send FAXes  to the  voice number.
People would just get mad at you.  It works pretty much the same way with
mailing  lists, with  the difference  that  you are  calling hundreds  or
thousands of people  at the same time, and consequently  you can expect a
lot of people to get upset if  you consistently send commands to the list
address.
You   may  leave   the  list   at  any   time  by   sending  a   "SIGNOFF
BUILDER-DISPATCH"  command to  
LIST...@DISPATCH.CNET.COM
.  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 BUILDER-DISPATCH
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
BUILDER-DISPATCH.  If  you  send  a "SET  BUILDER-DISPATCH  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
BUILDER-DISPATCH NOACK NOREPRO".
Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription options
have been  set to "NOPOST" rather  than the usual LISTSERV  defaults. For
more   information   about   subscription    options,   send   a   "QUERY
BUILDER-DISPATCH" command to 
LIST...@DISPATCH.CNET.COM
.
IMPORTANT: This list is confidential. You should not publicly mention its
existence, or forward copies of information  you have obtained from it to
third parties.
More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the  LISTSERV
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO  REFCARD"
command to 
LIST...@DISPATCH.CNET.COM
.
