... from whoever provides the email account!
For example:
* ISPs who provide an email-only service
* Computer network managers at organisations
that have email for staff, students, etc
New users will get an information pack or have
access to some kind of documentation.
If you want more publicity for ACCMail, target
the people who write or manage those guides.

Many Soviet ISPs offer newsservers with e-mail access to their users
because earlier many users were connected via UUCP (as me) - e-mail only.
Such newsserver's software was written (adapted?) by a Russian.
I at first saw accmail (then Bob Rankin's) FAQ on news.answers.
Until 2 weeks ago I was accmail-only. It's cheaper (local calls are paid
by minute here now), so I still use accmail methods.

Handling of cookies. It can be done by additional "Cookies" section
like existing "*** Form section (ignore) ***", so getweb will not have
to store cookies of all users on own HDD. Some web-servers
(for example <http://www.onelist.com>) refuse to work without cookies.
I tried to use <http://www.onelist.com> via www4mail (all three), but
unsuccessfully - at some stage I got no reply (I think because of timeout).
Also please remove conversion of 8-bit characters into pairs of symbols.
It's named "accents" in getweb's Install Directions:
| I have tested with both MIME-tools-2.04 and 3.204. 3.204 encodes
| Latin-1 accents a little better, so use 3.204 if you are installing
| from scratch.
This conversion is suitable only for Western-European languages (Latin-1),
there are other 8-bit charsets (Russian, Hebrew, Korean, Greek etc.).
Now in fact all Internet e-mail relays successfully transmit
unencoded 8-bit characters. www4mail sends 8-bit characters unencoded
without a problem, w3mail did same in its last months.
Many thanks!

Dear Friends,

Thanks.

NO
I receive the ACCMail digest and the stats take up unnecessary room. For
anyone who recieves a no. of mailings in a day to have those mailings
relevant and concise is not only helpful - it is essential.
If you want stats the instructions are simple:
>mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the
>body of your message put "join statistics" (no quotes).
Lets manage the traffic on the Info Super Highway!
Yours in ACCMail,
Eoin Brennan.

Hi Ken.... I don't familiar with .ASF files, but I know that if the pixel
size (i.e., 320*200) of your movies are not equal, you may can't join them.
Despite of it, I use a program named JetAudio, in which I can select an
album (of audio or video files) and order it to play in sequnce (or random).
Unfortunately, this program doesn't support .asf files. You may find a
proper program like this yourself.

Subject: Decoding problem
I've been receiving files that are supposed to be decoded
into graphics files (.jpg). I have uudecode & uudeview & uuenview.
I notice that uudeview creates a "header" which is always
"begin 666", and I don't seem to have a problem decoding
such files.
But some of the files I get have the header, "begin 644".
Is there another decoding program I should be using.
uudeview does process these files, but my graphics programs
don't recognize them as .jpg format.
Can anyone give me any clues as to what to do.
Thanks.
Ron

This is the decimal representation of the octal values for the Unix
file permssions.
644 - translates to 110-010-010 in octal
666 - translates to 110-110-110 in octal
Unix file permssions are set as 9 letters indicating the permissions.
The first three
are permissions for "the owner", the second three for "the group" and
the last three for "the world".
The following combinations are possible:
"---" (no permissions)
"r--" (read-only)
"-w-" (write-only, very rare)
"--x" (execute)
"rw-" (read and write)
"r-x" (read and execute)
"-wx" (write and execute, very rare)
"rwx" (read, write and execute)
So translating a "1" as a permission and a "0" as no permission
666 is 110 110 110 or "rw-rw-rw-"
644 is 110 010 010 or "rw--w--w-"
So the 644 says the owner can read and write, the group can only write,
and world can only write. Hence you can't read them (you are the world).
Check your file attributes on your PC for SHRA (system, hidden,
read-only, archive). Use the DOS or Win "attrib" command to change them
to off.
Hint:
E:\netcom> attrib /?
Displays or changes file attributes.
ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:][path]filename]
[/S]
+ Sets an attribute.
- Clears an attribute.
R Read-only file attribute.
A Archive file attribute.
S System file attribute.
H Hidden file attribute.
/S Processes files in all directories in the specified path.

The service that did this (reference.com) is still not working. I don't
know of any others currently working.
