Happy New Year to every hard-working persons,
Thank you for your endeavour in accmail. I have the chance with thanks to

save it and wait for finish download. I wonder if I could download the file

Dear ACCMailers.
Is it possible to receiving www pages regularly?
For example: I'm receiving weather forecast daily but more comfortable is delivering
this
pages automatically. Can I send command to mailserver {agora, wwwmail...}only one time
and other will be automatically until I stop it?
Thanks Mirek

Gads, I just answered this 3 days ago!
Currently, there are no servers that will automatically send you
web pages day after day. In all cases, you have to send your
request each day.
The only service that had a automatic daily reply is Reference.COM
but that is for Usenet newsgroup postings.

Would you believe in your Bible?
Matthew 5:38-48
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat,
let him have [thy] cloke also.
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain.
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of
thee turn not thou away.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and
persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for
he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth
rain on the just
and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not
even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than
others]? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven
is perfect.

Subject: NetZero download to floppy modified instructions
Sorry about any confusion the old instructions caused.
----------------
NetZero can be downloaded to floppy at my site.
First enter the following URL into your browsers location box.
http://members.xoom.com/netbyeml/netzero/floppy/
Then the page loads you will see four files listed in FTP style format.
netzero_00.exe
netzero_01
netzero_02
readme.1st
Save each to its own blank floppy disk by putting the mouse pointer on
the filename and
right clicking. From the popup menu select "Save Link As" and save to
floppy.
Put "readme.1st" on the last diskette.
It contains generic instructions on how to recombine the sections.
Suggest you print it out "readme.1st" before proceeding.

Subject: Anonymous mail without encrypting tool.
Hello AccMailers
I have some simple questions that I hope you can answer:
1 Is it possible to send an anonymous mail to a common
mail address (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) without using
any kind of encrypting tool?
2 Is it possible through email-only methods?
3 Did anybody do it recently?
Thanks in advance.
Dogberry.

Does a list of forbidden words really exist in some server?

Subject: Re: about uudecode.com
I don't understand how one can get a binary file by only removing
the header and trailer, and in the case of the other encoders
(uu, mime) one has to convert the ASCII back to binary, which
would seem the "normal" way (you receive something converted
from one format to another, you should have to convert it back
to be able to use it).

Subject: NEWS: More ftpmail servers down
Accmailers,
I have tried all the ftpmail servers to check out how the beginning
of 1999 is faring.
Not good, I'm afraid to report.
Out of the active ftpmail servers:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Finland) TIMEOUT 03/04Jan99
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Czech Republic) ERROR on 03/04Jan99
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (United States) NO ANSWER 03/04Jan99
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Peru) NO ANSWER 03/04Jan99
which leaves only:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Poland)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (United States)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (United States)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Japan)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Sweden)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Germany)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Poland)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Hungary )
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Belgium)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ukraine)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Germany)
I moved this to restricted because of the message I received:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Germany) ACCESS DENIED 03Jan99
These have been added to DEFUNCT (host unknown error):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as of 03Jan99
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as of 03Jan99
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as 26Oct98 (it didn't answer on
03/04Jan99 either)
If somebody knows differently, let me know so I can update my
servers.html file.

Excerpt from the netrun.doc file:
COM programs in NETRUN format execute from memory. EXE files are
written to disk with a temporary filename and executed by DOS.
NETRUN will detect if a file is COM or EXE from the contents, not
the filename extension. You cannot encode data files (see below for
information about NETSEND).
A NETRUN program is pure ASCII. It is impossible for a virus to
infect a NETRUN file without being visible, although not impossible
for an encoded file to contain a bad program.
NETRUN uses Base 91 coding. Generally files will be much smaller
than those UUEncoded. NETRUN files may use DOS, UNIX or Mac end of
line codes.

Don't need a list of words, all you need is common sense -- the
bozos on this list that use E-mail only services to retrieve porno
are just making it more difficult for the rest of us. Idiots!!
Most of the E-mail only servers are banning sites that contain porno.
>Can we read that lists, please?
Just think with your mind in the gutter and you can make your own
list. Use a dictionary and thesarus and you can find all the dirty
words.
