I don't understand how a serious www-by-email-only-user can live
without the statistics. I find it very convenient to receive them
automatically in the ACCMAIL digest every day. The statistics show me
which servers will be the best for me on that particular day. I always
choose one from the "Less than 1 hour" list. And when, for instance,
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is not in the list - like during the
past days - I know it's very probably off-line and I won't waste my
time with it. Then I'll swiftly move to another server :-)

Subject: Arabic alphabet on E-mails

On Sun. 10 Jan 1999, unfortunately, first I saved the ACCMAIL
Discussion e-mail with MS Word, deleted the original file and then
opened the file to read the letters.  That was when I saw some Arabic
alphabet in the "original message" part the letter by Mr. Abdurrahman
Q. Al-Qahtani. In fact, the date of the message was stated in Arabic.
My question is did anybody else see the date in Arabic alphabet or
did they see some funny-looking non-sensical signs of all kinds?  Is
it possible to communicate e-mails in other alphabet?  And how?
Thanks

I am glad to do some help on this topic. I have studied POP3 service
for a long time because of my expensive ISP charge.

Usa.net's POp3 server is "pop.netaddress.usa.net". Mailcity.com's is a
very good 4Mb-offered free mail server, but unfortunately it doesn't have POP3
service by now. Hotmail.com's is "pop.hotmail.com" but it charges US$18.00 per
1 year for POP3 server for a non-u.s. resident. If some of you are
interested in Chinese POP3 servers, mail me privately. I could list you a lot.

Mr(s). Gerry Boyd is right. To guess and to try is a cheap way to know
the pop3 servers. Another may be expansive. If you have webpage
access, you could click the "help" button and find it in the related topic.

POP3 is used to receive e-mails. How about sending out e-mails? You
need to set up SMTP server. First, it is better to set it as your ISP
SMTP server. If you haven't one or your ISP SMTP server is wrong by accident
when you really need it immediately, you could set any known SMTP server as your
current SMTP server. It just like you could use the mailbox miles away from
your home if the mailbox nearby you is damaged.

Trick programming:  The "encoded" file starts with a program using only
instructions and data in the range 31 to 126 (21 to 7E hex) in each byte.
 (There are likely other values in there that are avoided!)  The result
will pass via mail, and will, when saved as a .COM file, execute
properly.

The encoding method used for the data portion is "base 91" thus giving a
slightly smaller encoded file than UU/XX/base64 encoding, IF the file is
large enough to compensate for the added decoder overhead.

Subject: POP3 to Hotmail

Hello Accmailers,

Thank those that have directly sent e-mails to me and/or post on this
list for "POP3 server of hotmail". And also thank those that are going to
send and/or post.

In these three days, I got two solutions to my question.

One is to set "pop.hotmail.com" as my POP3 server. It works and take
me back an e-mail from hotmail staff. According to its saying, I visit the
http://www.hotmail.com/hts-ps.html and find out the hotmail intends to
charge every POP3 user US$18.00 per one year service for non-U.S.
residents. So if you don't mind the fee, hotmail users can try the
above link location to get POP3 service. (I mind indeed :) )

The other is to download the cwebmail utility from www.cwebmail.com. I
don't try this yet. My "THe Bat!" works just fine. For my poor PC
reason, I don't want to install a program which is only for a free
e-mail account.

So I want to give up the hotmail account. However, thank all of you
again for your attentions and helpful directions. Your letters make me
feel like in a large harmonious family. I wish that I could also do my
best to help the other guys in this list sometime in the future just as you help me.

P.S. If I were permitted to introduce some excellent free-mails. I'd
like to say usa.net is and 990.net is if you are a Chinese. They all
offer you free POP3 service which could save your time and then money
enough. And usa.net supplies 5Mb space for one user that is the biggest
I have found.

 Sunnie                          mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

May i request Fellow list members to snip the massages when

Out of 55Kb of  "7 to 8 jan digest"  hardly 10k was actual replies or

Grab this web page, and study the part about Mulit-part uudecoding:
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1236/howto2.html

>NOTE : all messages were UUencoded ( I don't know what does that

>I wish to answer me as fast as possible... thank you every body.

Binary files, such as word processor documents, graphical images,
and executeable files, cannot be sent directly via E-mail.
Uuencode is a method which translates a binary file into
a coded text format which is suitable for sending via E-mail.

The basic scheme is to break groups of 3 eight bit characters (24
bits) into 4 six bit characters and then add 32 (a space) to each
six bit character which maps it into a readily transmittable
character.  Another way of phrasing this is to say that the encoded
6 bit characters are mapped into the 64 character set:
        `!"#$%&'()*+,-./012356789:;<=>[email protected][\]^_
for transmission via E-mail.

Most lines in an encoded file have 45 encoded characters.  When you
look at a
UU-encoded file note that most lines start with the letter "M".  "M"
is decimal 77 which, minus the 32 (blank) bias, is 45.

The 45 encoded characters take 60 bytes because of the of the
grouping ratio of 4 bytes to 3 bytes. This plus the "M" makes each
line in the file 61 characters long.

So a typical uuencoded file will look something like:
[begin 700 picture.jpg]

M`=\`!RI]@3,``)6H```#KP!($`(!"P`!``!!2```&10``!/X```69````@``
M```````7.``$``(`!``$``.`!0`"``,Q3```````````````````````````
M```N.&%D````````````````````%````.P````````````````````(+G1E
M.'0```````(````"````04@```(```!U^@`````"(```````("YP860`````
M``````````````"X``!#2`````````````````````@N9&%T80``````````
M9G)A;64`86)O=71?=&5X=`!N97AT;V)J96-T`&YE=V=A;65?8G0`.V-O.F5?
M:71E;0!L979E;%]I=&5M`')O=W-?:71E;0!G86UE7V]V97(`=&5T.FES7VEC
M;VX`96YD7V]F7V=A;64`.V-O.F5?.&]S:71I;VX`.')O9W)A;6YA;64`.F5S
0.'=U:60`+F=E='!W=6ED`')C
`
end

As some transmission mechanisms compress or remove spaces, spaces
are changed into back-quote (~) characters (ASCII 96).

The file always starts with a "begin" followed by the Octal
equivalent of the Unix file permissions followed by the real name
of the file. The last line is always the word "end" which may
optionally be followed by some size information depending on the
uuencoding program used.

>From a theoretical view, this encoding is encoding 24 bits modulo
64.  Note that 64**3 is = 2**24.  The result is 24 bits in and 32
bits out, a 33% size increase.

What is happening is that the file is one single file that is UUencoded, *then*
split into parts. Your emailer (M$ Outlook Express) only sees a UUE header in
the first part, and so doesn't consider the other three parts to be an encoded
file, just text. All four messages are parts to the same file.

What you will have to do is sort the four mails so that they are in order, and
then save them all into one single file on disk and decode them. I don't know
how to do this in M$(w)OE, so someone else will have to give you guidance on
how to do this. :-(

Well my three favorites still are:
Arlene Rinaldi's "THE NET USER GUIDELINES AND NETIQUETTE"
http://www.fau.edu/netiquette/net/

RFC 1855 - Netiquette Guideline
RFCs can also be obtained via electronic mail from ISI.EDU by using
the RFC-INFO service.  Address the request to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with
a message body of:

        Retrieve: RFC
           Doc-ID: RFC1855

Patrick Crispen's Roadmap series:
MAP07: Netiquette
http://netsquirrel.com/roadmap96/map07.html

(I use some of this one in my monthly reminder notice)

Two guidelines for mailing lists are:

Send mail To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
in the body of the note
  send usenet/news.answers/usenet/faq/part1

Those of You who asked what to do after the GMD stopped the service
there is one simple solution: You can buy the software W3Gate
install it on Your
server and run the service for yourselves or for the public.
The price for W3Gate as is will be: 35000 DM (German Marks) which
is as of today
US $20588. included in this price is an unlimited user license, the
source code
for Sun Solaris and an introduction how it is installed and
maintained.

More information about how to buy W3Gate please feel free to
contact me again mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
