Hello:
Each place to mark is a link to another page.
Just mark it and at botton of the page is a boton "GetSelectedDocuments"
clicked it and your request will be automatically sent to www4mail@host by
email. You have to configurate your browser to the email acount.

Mail programs will some times reject an address if its syntax is
incorrect.
1: With ONE exception that I know of, there should be exactly one '@'
character.
2: names must be only letters, digits, dots, and dashes, but some times
underscores are allowed (rare!) They should never begin or end with
other than letters and numbers.
3: Separators include '@', '%' and '!', each with a different meaning,
always between names, never doubled. '%' and '!' are not expected, if
allowed, to both be in the same address.
If it matches these rules, then it is unlikely to be bounced by the mail
"reader". There are other things allowed/disallowed, but they are all
rare.

Subject: Accessing more than neurons of personal memory
Greetings!
I have before me two sheets of hard copy. I had been making
reference in writings to an important article in the Economist
and a library sent me the 1977 text.
This is a most valuable service for one can call up a solution
a fragment of which resides among the neurons of personal memory.
By drawing up full information, sometimes one can help a whole
community which is plagued by an ill.
>From the two sheets I received by post, I discover that the
information was simply called up by the library from a WWW
journal archiving service.
Could we seek such a retrieval service for e-mailers and so help
those in less developed countries to begin with?
Old numbers of The Economist are particularly useful for in the
past hard technologies were represented. Yet, there are other
magazines and journals where a simple search of archived back
numbers can provide access to valuable information.

Subject: More free faxing
There appear to be very few email-to-fax gateways outside the TPC network
and those listed in the digest. A search engine will turn up thousands of
links for "mail to fax" or "free fax" but most of these pages lead you back
to TPC or FaxSav or FaxAway! There are several web sites, however, from
which one can send fax messages, which could possibly be used with www4mail.
I recall reading about a free fax service to a couple of Scandinavian
countries which didn't figure in the list. I don't have the URLs at hand.
Anyhow, here are a couple of additions to the list:
http://easyfax.net/cgi-bin/easyfax.cgi
NOT POSSIBLE by accmail techniques, but one can send a free (text) fax to
ANY country in the world with a telecom infrastructure.
http://www.ranwin.com/freefax.htm
A great little service to Bombay which I recently discovered, yet to try by
email but should be possible. The TPC service in Bombay is dead most of the
time...

Even if you had subscribed directly, you would not have got that "boring bit
of email" after Monday the June 28th, I guess! I am not a subscriber now of
the daily Stats. But requesting for it by way of [EMAIL PROTECTED] last 3 days, I
got no new stats after last Monday's posting. Here is the top part of latest reply I

I sincerely hope that Stats itself is not dead. I will not be perturbed the
least bit if the Stats gets dropped from our ACCMAIL or otherwise.
But I sure like to have Stats as something obtainable on demand when I need it ( as
the latest possible of course! ) .

The correct ftp site is the one listed above. The file is there and is
accessible so the note above about the "server may be busy" is probably
what happened to you.

Probably, I know that I do (:>)
Ass to your request, the answer is no. There are no email only servers
that will send you a split file by days. The www4mail servers will
split files but they send the split parts one after the other. Likewise
with the ftpmail servers that allow parts retrieval. You can split the
files and order the parts but it won't do it for you on a daily basis.

Hi folks,
Someone wrote, asking about Finger...
"Also what exactly does the finger command do, I have tried e-mailing
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the command finger <e-mail address> but it
keeps replying with the message "connection refused or host unknown"
Any
help appreciated."
Finger relies on "fingerd", its server, running at the other end - and
that you're running Finger from a permitted IP address.
The engine actually sends out quite a lot of personal info about the
user you're trying to ping - which is why most sysadmins disable the
server process, or only permit it from within their address range. Due
to this TCP wrappering, that is why the remote machine is rejecting
your request.

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*)

There is a web site with all the embassies listed. However, it will
take you a lot of page retievals to get the whole thing. It also has a
search engine on the main page.
http://www.embassyworld.com/embassy/directory.htm
The other one is a frmes site which is almost impossible by email methods:

Indirectly there is. This list has a web-interface to the archive at:

The archives are listed by week. Each week shows all the postings and
answers releated together in parentheses:
Example from June 1999, week 5

You used to be able to do this with a Unix command. However, because so
many spammers were getting lists of userids this way, these methods
have all been abandonded. So the answer is no, there really isn't a
method of getting all mailids.

Nope. You either use the web page or ftp. Same as me at my Geocities
site except I always use ftp becaise it's easier.
