The statistics robot last got a response Jan 20. I rarely consider a
server dead until it's been gone a month and sometimes they come back
after longer.
All it needs is for someone to go on vacation or have a big project...

This works for every mailing list at http://www.onelist.com

I tried just that - w/o any feedback or change in msg stream
Eventually they referred me to www-clicking, which is out of reach

Iliad is a search engine that you approach my email... It
searches a number of other search engines and returns the results
in a really useable fashion...
Another email address for them is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
To quote Mr Boyd...
I'm always on the lookout for methods to do things by email only as well
as providing accessible sources for the blind. I have been using this
service since June 1997. Thought it was time to mention it on my favorite
three mailings lists. (This has already been discussed on BLIND-L).
ILIAD searches the Internet offline via email or the Web.
If you have email - you can search the Web!
HOW DO I USE ILIAD?
1. Type an E-Mail message in the format listed below. You can save this
format in your email address book so each email only requires that you
enter the keywords. 2. Questions should be keywords relevant to your
request. Avoid
common and cross-disciplinary words. Select narrow, unique
search terms that are focused on your topic.
Submit 1 query per E-Mail.
3. E-mail your request to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4. The format required is:
Subject: iliad query
?Q : your query keywords
SPECIAL OPTION
A special URL option exists for those who have Web browsers and
would prefer their answers as a list of hyperlinks in an html document.
This option functions primarily as a time saving device. Searches are
performed independently and the results are emailed as an html document.
If you request this option, save the email you receive as xxx.html and
bring it up in a Web browser as a local file.
Example:
Subject: iliad query
*OutputType : urls
?Q : your query keywords
For more information visit the following URLs:
Ask ILIAD
http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/stb/iliad.html (GUI page)
http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/stb/iliadtxt.html (text-only page)

Cool! Rather spiffy display. I just downloaded and installed a win95/98
version.

But I still like my Sharp caclculator because it goes where I go...

Bob: Thank you for your service to the net, and this method of access.
Gerry: I expect you to place your "stamp" on the FAQ, and await your
first version. In that this version is a usenet FAQ, keeping it down
under 60KB, as your own and the 4U have failed to do, would be a
recommendation that I would give. I understand that this is a difficult
goal.
Both: Good luck with your new endeavors!

The accmail FAQ will stay under 60Kb. Currently 58910 bytes.
New version hasn't propagated all over the 'net yet.
You can get it from my autoresponder.
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: send accmail.faq
BTW, my web page that shows how to turn off HTML and/or MIME encoding
in various E-mail programs has been dumped as a text document called
"nomime.txt"
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: send nomime.txt
Thanks go to Hugh Sasse for this suggestion...

I guess a mini hex/ascii chart should be in the FAQ's.
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 0 9 A B C D E F 0 1
SPACE ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / 0 9 : ; < = > ? @ A
5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 7 7 7 7 7 7
A B C D E F 0 1 A B C D E F
Z [ \ ] ^ _ ` a z { | } ~ DEL
The DEL above is NOT the DEL or Delete key on your PC keyboard. Values
with first digit greater than 7 are NOT standard ASCII, and the character
shown is dependant on the font/code-page/hardware settings. Values with
first digit of 0 or 1 are "control" characters. While some hardware can
display these, they are intended for functions, not display.
The windows Calculator, in "Scientific" mode, can do
Decimal/Octal/Hexadecimal conversions. After converting to decimal, PC
users can enter the character by holding down [alt] while typing in the
decimal value ON THE NUMBER PAD. (release [alt] between characters)

Subject: Re: TRUNCATED DIGESTS
Hint to posters: If you MUST quote the begin line from an encoded file,
please change the three digit number to ###, so as to help prevent this
type of problem.

>------------------------------
The most common cause of this, is a begin ### sequence (usually near the
beginning of a line) imbedded in the digest. I would not expect
MegaReader, not even an OS/2 version (Is that not what MR/2 is above?) to
be affected by this, but...
What happens with some readers is that they see the begin ### line, and
think that is the beginning of a UU-encoded file, and block the rest of
the message, in this case the rest of the digest, from showing in the
text display. Simultaneously, they attempt to provide a decoded
"attachment".
The cure is to disable automatic recognition of this type of attachment,
both for this, AND to prevent problems with multi-part attachments.
The other cure may be to not take the list as digests.
