Boyd To get the latest edition, send e-mail to one of the addresses below.

Send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This will tell you how to get each of the documents.

Included in this DOS program are: Perry Rovers Anonymous FTP (FAQ) Biran Edmonds FAQ Mailing List Etiquette Gerald E. Boyd's Guide to Search Engines Gerald E. Boyd's Guide to Offline Internet Access Mailing List Etiquette by Brian Edmonds Pix4u, Email4u, Getit4u, Fun4U by Bob Appleton Also included are all kinds of other useful files... Current MS-DOS version ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/mailnews/em_ai40.zip Current Windows 3.x version ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win3/info/emaiw18.zip ========================= S U B J E C T L I N E S ========================= Mail should have a meaningful subject heading which reflects the content of the message -- it helps others to find messages of interest (and is necessary if you receive a lot of messages per day), and it helps to follow a thread on a particular topic. Non-meaningful subjects are: 1. empty or blank subjects 2. Subject: I need help 3. Subject: A question 4. Subject: Re: ACCMAIL Digest .... ================= O F F - T O P I C ================= Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list doesn't deal with topics like: - Do you want to make $$$. - I want to chat with someone. - Hi, I'm new to the list and I want to make friends. - General use of your computer -- instead ask a specific question like is there a FAQ available on modems? - Where do I get this or that software -- instead ask how to retrieve it via email. - Where do I find information on ??? -- instead ask how do I find information concerning ??? via email. - Windows 95 problems -- instead ask where do I find information regarding a problem (email address, mailing list, web page. etc.) =================== N E T I Q U E T T E =================== DON'T include the entire contents of a previous posting in your reply. DO cut mercilessly. Leave just enough to indicate what you're responding to. NEVER include mail headers except maybe the "From:" line. If you can't figure out how to delete lines in your mailer software, paraphrase or type the quoted material in. DON'T SEND A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS. CAPITALIZED MESSAGES ARE HARDER TO READ THAN LOWER CASE OR MIXED CASE. DO use normal capitalization. Separate your paragraphs with blank lines. Make your message inviting to your potential readers. DON'T send messages with HTML coding or MIME extensions. DO learn how to change your E-mail program so that it sends only plain text ASCII to the list. Make things easy for the recipient. Many mailers strip header information which includes your return address. In order to ensure that people know who you are, be sure to include a line or two at the end of your message with contact information. You can create this file ahead of time and add it to the end of your messages. (Some mailers do this automatically.) In Internet parlance, this is known as a ".sig" or "signature" file. Your .sig file takes the place of your business card. (And you can have more than one to apply in different circumstances.) If you include a signature keep it short. Rule of thumb is no longer than 4 lines. Remember that many people pay for connectivity by the minute, and the longer your message is, the more they pay. Remember that people with whom you communicate are located across the globe. If you send a message to which you want an immediate response, the person receiving it might be at home asleep when it arrives. Give them a chance to wake up, come to work, and login before assuming the mail didn't arrive or that they don't care. In general, most people who use the Internet don't have time to answer general questions about the Internet and its workings. Don't send unsoli cited mail asking for information to people whose names you might have seen on mailing lists (especially *MINE*) =================================================== D I G E S T A N D S I N G L E P O S T I N G S =================================================== If you wish to receive the digest version of ACCMAIL (that is, all postings combined together and sent out at the end of each day): To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [leave blank] body of the message SET ACCMAIL DIGEST If you wish to receive the individual postings to ACCMAIL (that is, each posting as it is approved in a separate message): To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [leave blank] body of the message SET ACCMAIL NODIGESTS or SET ACCMAIL MAIL ========= O T H E R ========= If you have had good luck with a piece of email software or email software that works well, please inform the list. Likewise, for support and help lines. ACCMAIL uses LISTSERV "topics", which allows people to subscribe to a subset of postings. If you have any postings that are important announcements about new servers, new tecniques, etc. please prefix the subject line with NEWS: If you considered all these files and my comments, your post will likely be very welcome on ACCMAIL and everybody will try to help you with your problems. If not, you're likely to get a short answer referencing one of the files mentioned here, or sometimes no answer at all!

I had been told it was a 600k file, but it actually was a 6Mb one, and my mailbox got flooded. After reaching the limit (5 Mb) whatever else was sent got either blocked or dumped. So, after downloading the first 24 blocks (*.PDF), i requested the missing ones, sending [EMAIL PROTECTED] this command: -- get http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/TECHGUIDE/PSHOP/PDFs/PS_CMS. pdf getpart 25-30 -- A few hours later I got my files (except one that's still missing), but this time with a .ZIP extension. I'll wait to have the whole bunch and try putting them together, but aren't the different extensions a problem? And why different extensions? Is the reason that "get" in my second request or just the fact that I requested parts?
