Just a usage hint here, if you know the SELMA message number (from
viewing the mail header), you can ask for a copy by sending a message
to the list with the subject:
get msg N
Where N is the number on the "X-SELMA: [REBOL]" line in the mail
header. (Many email clients hide the header, but most can display it as
an option.)
The other SELMA commands are
help - get this information
suggest - make a suggestion about the list
selma-source - get the current source code to SELMA
get msg N - send yourself message #N
subscribe - add yourself to the list
unsubscribe - remove yourself from the list
Again, commands to REBOL SELMA are given on the subject line of your
message.
So to retrieve bob's seminal post from {[REBOL] rebol.org purpose (was
"archive" )} you could ask SELMA to
get msg 72849
Just be sure to put the command all by itself as the subject line.
SELMA doesn't look for a command in the first line of a message (yet).
[ Special Bonus Tip ]
To retrieve the HTML version a message from the REBOL.ORG archive, try
the notation
http://rebol.org/userlist/archive/72/849.html
for message 72849.
This should work for messages dating back to 15/Jun/99 <
http://rebol.org/userlist/archive/4/865.html >. The message numbers are
not always consecutive though, so you can't just step through the
archive by incrementing the URL (shucks!).
