Subject: Obtaining a 'Directory' for a HTTP site by e-mail.
Hello Again Everyone,
This may have been covered before I got on the list.
Is there a way through ACC methods, to obtain a 'directory'
or 'tree' from a HTTP site? For example if I wished to know
the names of all the files at http://www.vega.net/ could I
do it through ACC methods? Or could I find out if there are
'sub-directories' at http://www.suzannevega.com/ ?
This would make it easier to 'mirror' a site on my
hard disk for easy reference. I then wouldn't have to check
for ALL the links, I could just pull all the files from the
sites in question.

Subject: GPS
I think is called GPS, you use it with a laptop and it connects to a
satellite.
What it does, you write your current location(address) and a destination
and will guide you through out the whole route.
Any info will be greatly appreaciated(web sites, etc)
Sorry for this off-topic message.

Looks like those of us in the LA area might be in luck in about
a month or so... a free service called FaxWave is being offered
at http://www.coolwave.com. Appears to be just like efax.com;
attachments will come as TIFFs, with ads (buy hey, it's free!), etc.
Company is located in Santa Barbara, CA, much closer to me than
the Chicago-area numbers from efax. FaxWave is only accepting
e-mail addresses right now at their home page; service is due to
start up in March.
Also, there are a few pay sites out there that do this sort of thing,
but they look to be rather expensive, including the heavily advertised
one at http://www.jfax.com. But jfax does serve all the large cities in
Europe, as well as in the US, for about $12.50 a month for unlimited
inbound messages.

Try Offline Explorer (free for one month, $30 after that - worth it...) at
http://www.metaproducts.com
I always do exactly what you're trying to do, and a lot more...

Subject: Some tips on spam.
Some of the stuff I will mention, most people will know but anyway.
1.Stay anonymous browsing the web, using e-mail and posting to
newsgroups.
http://www.anonymiser.com/ Surf the web without a trace??
2.Never add yourself to internet e-mail directories. If you do, ask them
to remove you.
3. Give dummies e-mails when filling web forms.(sometimes you have to
when requesting info)
4. Disable the cookies in your browser. However, you must accept cookies
from a site for it to work property.
5. have two e-mails, one for your personal use and the other one for
mailing lists, newsgroups or web forms.
6. put somethig between your e-mail address when you post to newsgroups
and include intructions in decoding it.
e.g [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
7. Use the filtering tools on your e-mail program. Even thought it
doesn't work that much but it helps. If the e-mail doesn't contain your
correct e-mail in the to: or co: fields, trash it. Delete all messages
with subject lines in all capital letters and messages with lost of
dollar signs or exclamation points. And filter out messages with X-rated
subjects as well as spammer speak-like like unsubscribe, X-priority,
adv(for advertisement), bulk-e-mail, authenticated sender, or make money
fast. Use an anti-spam utility.
8. Never respond directly to a sender of junk mail, period. A reply tell
them that the e-mail is valid. Instead, complain to the ISP that hosts
the spammer. Figuring out where junk messages originated can be tricky.
Look at the message headers and look for IP addresses or domains withing
parentheses in the header's Recieved lines(information outside the
parenthesis could be faked), then verify the using Acme Address
Digger(www.blighty.com/spam/spade.html. One you identified the most
likely target, visit Network Abuse (abuse.net) for the appropiate
contacts and fire off a polite but firm letter requesting their helpin
stopping further spam.
Here are some address of spam killers.
www.spamkiller.com
www.hms.com/spameater.htm
Hope nobody complaint on this kind large but informative message.
Let's try to stop spam.

Hi...
First, you have to concate the files by COPY /b file.001 + file.002 .......+
file.nnn <filename> if you use exchange or outlook client just select the
files (ascending order), from file menu click save as <filename>
Second, Decode file myfile.exe with decoder program ( uudecode.com, Uudview,
etc)
good luck,\
Aaron
