Dear Sir,

some questions remain open after reading your mail:

1) As I subscribed when the old list server was still active, I wonder
wether I have to follow the old rules for unsubscribing (lets say for
vacancies) and later on subscribe again following the new rules for
subscribing or wether I have to use from now on the new rules.

A:

To subscribe to the forum send a message:
to: [log in to unmask]
Subject:
Body: subscribe <list name> <your full name>

EXAMPLE: subscribe TechNet Joseph H. Brown

To unsubscribe (signoff) to the forum send a message:
to: [log in to unmask]
Subject:
Body: signoff <list name>

EXAMPLE: signoff TechNet

2) As I understand, the new listserver is controlled from the user by
commands. Could you please tell how such commands have to look like? Are
they mails to the new mail-address <[log in to unmask]> with the subject
being interpreted as the command and empty mail body or are they mails
with subject "command" and the text in the mail body being interpreted
as command?

A: You can get more detailed information on available commands at
http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm


3) Is there a difference between writing in capital or small letters for
commands? Have we to use exactly the same spelling for commands as
written in your mail? Are commands sensitive to extra blanks? Have we to
quote commands?

A: No. The software is not case sensitive

4) Would you please clarify wether your emil-address is <[log in to unmask]>
as is written in your signature or <[log in to unmask]> as in the
from-field of your mail?

A: Either one will work.


Please contact me if you have any questions.
