Where We Are

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Here is Listserv's breakdown of ACCMAIL subscribers by
country. As you can see, we are a genuinely and impressively
international group.

Listserv does not know your actual country of residence. The
table below is really an analyis of the domain registration
of your Internet Service Providers or webmail hosts.

*All* .com, .org and .net subscribers appear as USA, which
is why the USA seems to be the main subscriber country. My
guess is that most of the 'USA' subscribers (about 40% of
the total) are actually in other countries.

No, you cannot do that.

Reason: subscriber privacy

Although the list of countries contains no private
information, the permissions required to obtain the
country list could allow access to email addresses.

But any time you want to see the country list, just
ask for it.

Yes, it is possible to fill in forms using www4mail
and get the results by email. Unfortunately, some
web forms do not work -- the reason is usually related
to how the form script has been programmed or
installed.

Read the www4mail documentation carefully. If you can't
get it to work for you, this mailing list is your best
source of help -- but you will have to give us specific
information about your problem.

The only way to to do that is to test your pages thoroughly,
using all the ACCMail methods you know of.

Some tips (from our experience) ...

* Your browser test set should include Lynx.
* Validate your pages against a standard W3C doctype.
* Don't use frames, image maps, external javascript files.
* If you use cascading style sheets, make sure your pages
  work without them.
* Don't use Java, Flash, or any other plug-in technology.
* Minimise use of images.
* Cookies are not stored reliably by WWW4Mail; assume that
  your ACCMail users will not set them.
* Don't use client-side redirection.
* There is no reason not to use dynamic pages, but don't
  try to pass session information through the URL.
* Use only ASCII 7-bit characters -- characters in the range
  128-255 should be represented by an HTML entity.

Re: problems posting to ACCMAIL

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Hi ACCMailers ...

I think this discussion is beginning to drift off-topic, and we should
not be talking about the respective merits of UUCP and other internet
protocols. (By the way, there is an excellent mailing list for such
matters at http://www.postel.org/mailman/listinfo/internet-history/ )

However, I will add one observation of my own. On several occasions,
my posts to the AOL listserv (as subscriber and as moderator) have
been rejected. To have them accepted, all I have had to do is send to
the listserv in lower case, ie: as   [EMAIL PROTECTED]not
as   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What does the "VirusWarning.txt" attachment tell you?

Your email subject is "not a virus" -- but how do you

These are all good questions which we might have to address
collectively.

Gerry Boyd, the current ACCMail FAQ maintainer, has already stated
that he intends to retire -- in effect he already has retired.

I doubt if the FAQ will disappear on 3 September, even from the
mit.edu site, but it will of course become outdated -- unless the work
is carried on by another person or persons.

The documents on expita.com are part of Mr Boyd's own website. I guess
they will disappear quite soon. Get them now, while you can.

I don't have answers right now to those specific questions. But I do
think there is a case for a new edition of the ACCMail FAQ.

Of course, they are only trying to help!

Meanwhile, it seems to me that you have just two options ...

1. Email the Trieste WWW4mail, asking them to stop filtering.
2. Don't use Trieste WWW4Mail.

This faq covers the access to all major search-engines, there is a

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Here is Listserv's breakdown of ACCMAIL subscribers by country.

Listserv does not know your actual country of residence. The table
below is really an analyis of the domain registration of your Internet
Service Providers or webmail hosts.

*All* .com, .org and .net subscribers appear as USA, which is why the
USA seems to be the main subscriber country. My guess is that most of
the 'USA' subscribers are actually in other countries.

It means the email was sent at 11 minutes and 32 seconds
past midnight -- in a timezone that is one hour ahead of
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Each machine that handles an email message should add its
own date header. Here, for example, are some of the (edited)
headers from your own email ...

Delivery-date: Sat, 07 Feb 2004 18:05:29 +

Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2004 18:27:50 -0400

The significant dates are the send date and the delivery
date. The other dates rarely have any practical importance
-- it's just tracking information.

Where We Are

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Here is Listserv's breakdown of ACCMAIL subscribers by country.

But Listserv does not know your actual country of residence. The table
below is really an analyis of the domain registration of your Internet
Service Providers or webmail hosts -- not of where you live.

So all subscribers with .com, .org or .net addresses are included in
the USA count, which is why the USA seems to be the main subscriber
country. My guess is that most of the 'USA' subscribers are actually
in other countries.

The current information is in the monthly reminder which we send out
on the first day of each month. If you have just subscribed, you have
not yet received the reminder.

To get archived messages for the first week of the current month, send
an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using the following command
syntax in the body of the message:
GET ACCMAIL LOG0yymmn
where "yy" is the year, "mm" is the month, and "n" is an alpha
character representing the week number (a for 1, b for 2, etc)

Example: to get the archives for week 1 of June 2004, request
GET ACCMAIL LOG0406A

The monthly reminder is usually the first post of the month.

Where We Are

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Here is Listserv's breakdown of ACCMAIL subscribers by country.

But Listserv does not know your actual country of residence. The table
below is really an analyis of the domain registration of your Internet
Service Providers or webmail hosts -- not of where you live.

So all subscribers with .com, .org or .net addresses are included in
the USA count, which is why the USA seems to be the main subscriber
country. My guess is that most of the 'USA' subscribers are actually
in other countries.

I have a complete set of the expita.com pages, and I could host them
-- but there are at least two problems ...

a) The content of the pages belongs to Gerry Boyd. I don't think it
   would be right to copy them without Gerry Boyd's explicit
   agreement.
b) The pages have not been updated for many months. I don't see any
   point in publishing a website which has no maintenance scheme.

Gerry Boyd retired from ACCMAIL a year ago, and probably has other
plans for the resources which he is paying for. Now I think it is the
right time for the ACCMAIL community to take responsibility for the
FAQ and all related resources.

Can we devise a way of doing this collectively, rather than relying on
the dedication of just one person?

I don't think hosting is a significant problem. I can offer reliable
http and ftp hosting, and no doubt many other people can do the same.

What is difficult is maintenance. ACCMAIL resources have rarely been
stable for very long. Removal of dead links and timely addition of new
resources is critical. It is too much for a single person.

I have some ideas on how it might be done as a collaboration. I will
try to find time in the next 48 hours to write them up and post them
here -- but I am also keen to hear *any* other suggestions from *any*
other subscribers. Time to brainstorm!?

Useful information at http://www.netservs.com/mrcool/stats.htm
or email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
with
get file stats.txt
in the message body

But perhaps we should now start rebuilding basic ACCMAIL info?

I believe the following WWW4MAIL information to be accurate ...

Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
URL: http://www4mail.org/

Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
URL: http://www.collaborium.org/

Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
URL: (no website)

Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
URL: http://www.bellanet.org/email.htm

Each WWW4MAIL server has its own criteria, limits and restrictions
which can be discovered by sending the message
HELP
in the email body

If a few ACCMAIL subscribers (preferably on different continents) were
to test these WWW4MAIL servers now, and then report back to this list,
we could say we have taken the first step towards a new ACCMAIL FAQ.

According to the daily netservs.net report, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We received a reply from [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 23 August 2004.

I guess only those two remain in service -- neither of them very reponsive.

Getting the ACCMAIL FAQ by Email

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Hello ACCMAILers ...

I have been testing the email addresses for obtaining
the ACCMAIL FAQ, but without success so far.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] has not replied for 48 hours.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] has replied, stating that it
does not have the FAQ.

Of course, there are numerous copies of the FAQ all over
the Internet, mostly on WWW servers. However, many of
those copies are very old -- and it is essential that
the FAQ should be obtainable by email, so I have taken
the precaution of mirroring it myself.

Provisionally, the final version (10.2) in english can
be obtained by sending a blank email to
accmail.faq.en `AT` szs.net
(replacing `AT` with @ to form a proper email address).

I have not edited the FAQ, so it still contains some
incorrect information, eg: about expita.com.

Please test the autoresponder -- everybody!!!

I'm not getting any response at all. If it has stopped working,

I think it is important not to give out wrong informaion.

Fortunately, the report still appears on the netservs
website http://www.cix.co.uk/~net-services/mrcool/stats.htm

You can obtain the report by sending the message
get file stats.txt
in the body of an email to
mailserv `AT` netservs.com
(replacing `AT` with @ to form a proper email address).

The netservs.com report lists web-to-email servers in order of

but do not appear on the list because they are slow.

That should have been Thursday 26 August!

The listserv was down for about four days. Some of
the original configuration settings were lost.
However, I believe we have put everything back how

Relevance of Gopher-by-Email in 2004

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Hello ACCMailers ...

I have been thinking about the relevance of some of the
information in the ACCMAIL FAQ and other resources.

For example: gopher
Personally, I haven't used a gopher since 1995 and the last time
I saw one was about three years ago.

Now, I can't find a single working gopher site anywhere on the
Internet. Maybe they have all gone -- does anybody know?

If gopher is history, then (obviously) gopher-by-email is
meaningless, and so are
  * Veronica
  * Jughead
  * veronica-by-email (the FAQ at
http://www.ou.edu/research/electron/internet/veronica.htm
is just two pages of dead links)
  * jughead-by-email

Am I wrong?

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.

Thanks Albert ...

You have four different versions! UTF-8-e, ISO-8859-3-e, ikse, fundamente

The first is in Unicode, which I suppose is not suitable for an
autoresponder. The other three use 8-bit characters -- which one would be
best for our purpose?

It's clearly not a mainstream AOL service. The number of lists

I don't know! One of the three previous list 'owners' might
know the answer, so I think I should contact them individually,
as we really should understand the relationship between ACCMAIL
and AOL. Unless we have a hidden benefactor, the ACCMAIL list
will eventually expire.

By the way, the list 'owner' is not a proprietor -- it is a
person (or group of people) who has agreed to take on admin
responsibility for the list. Currently that person is me.
There are also two moderators -- Eugeny (who does most of it)

responsibility for the ACCMAIL FAQ in August 2003. Therefore you should

Where We Are

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Here is Listserv's breakdown of ACCMAIL subscribers by country.

But Listserv does not know your actual country of residence. The table
below is really an analyis of the domain registration of your Internet
Service Providers or webmail hosts -- not of where you live.

So all subscribers with .com, .org or .net addresses are included in
the USA count, which is why the USA seems to be the main subscriber
country. My guess is that most of the 'USA' subscribers are actually
in other countries, and the number of countries represented is an
under-estimate.

A uudecode Starter Kit

[Sun Zoom Spark]

The 'executable ASCII' uudecode.com is no longer
available from expita.com.

I have made a replacement which you can obtain by
autoresponder:
  accmail.uudec.en `AT` szs.net

The autoresponder will return 2 attachments:

1. uudecode.com - an executable ASCII file.
   Although it consists wholly of ASCII text characters,
   it functions as an executable file in MS-DOS.

2. uudecode.readme.txt - a plain ASCII file with brief
   instructions on how to use uudecode.com

Autoresponder tests would be very welcome! I think I
have got it right, but I only spent ten minutes doing
it.

Expita Pages Rescued

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Hello ACCMailers ...

I have created a web home for the ACCMAIL FAQ files
at http://szs.net/emailonly/

On the same site, I have mirrored all the expita.com
pages that ACCMAIL subscribers might need. I have not
attempted to edit or correct the content of the pages.
I made a few small edits, and have explained why and
where they were necessary.

Inluded in the mirror are the Email-only Search Engine
FAQs. I suspect some of them are not worth keeping,
but I haven't had time to examine the text, let alone
test them. Any opinions?

By the way, links should always be to the main page
http://szs.net/emailonly/, not to the individual
FAQ files or how-to pages. Anyone following inbound
links should see the explanatory text before using
the old resources.

Updating the FAQ

You are right -- version 10 really is old.

Gerry has either retired completely or is on a very long bike ride. We can't
contact him. But, while I was checking through some old emails from two
years ago, I found at least one that clearly stated his intention to
relinquish all reponsibility for the FAQ. I had forgotten about that,
because at the time I agreed only to take on admin of this list.

I would ask him if I could -- but all mail to expita.com bounces, so I can't
ask him, and now I don't think it is necessary. I see no obstacle to editing
the current FAQ as version 11. I'm sure Gerry would agree.

The updating itself should not be difficult -- the information is all in the
list archives and heads of members -- but the distribution of the FAQ will
be a problem.

Right now, there is a weekly automated posting to alt.bbs.internet,
alt.online-service, alt.internet.services, alt.answers, comp.mail.misc,
comp.answers, news.answers, and news.newusers.questions. The posts to the
usenet *answers groups ensure that the FAQ appears on faqs.org, and on the
rtfm.mit.edu autoresponder and FTP server. As far as we know, the automated
posting originates on expita.com, which is running on auto-pilot. The posts
can only be stopped by Gerry.

This is how it works. FAQs and other important documents posted to the
usenet *answers groups are archived at the discretion of the group
moderators. faqs.org updates automatically from those archives, and
rtfm.mit.edu updates from faqs.org.

We need to maintain continuity if we can, but obviously we cannot post new
versions to the newsgroups while version 10.2 is being posted. The solution
is to contact the newsgroup moderators and ask them to accept the new FAQ
and block the old one.

So here is my proposal ...

1. Produce ACCMAIL FAQ version 11 as soon as possible, in a format and style
   that is similar to previous FAQs. Although I would prefer it to be seen
   as a collaborative exercise rather than work of one person, I am very
   willing to do this. I have already assembled much of the required
   material.

2. Do everything we can to get the new FAQ accepted on the newsgroups. I do
   not anticipate any difficulty, except finding out who the moderators are.
   But if that fails, publish the new FAQ under a different name, eg: the
   Email-Only FAQ version 1.

3. Initiate a debate (if anyone is interested) on this list about how the
   FAQ could be improved. Personally, I think it should be oriented more
   towards non-anglophone users and their needs -- but most of all I would
   like to find out what other subscribers think.

4. If there is a general concensus for a change in style, tone, content or
   format, publish version 12 to mark ten years of ACCMAIL ... it started in
   1994, when the Internet was already established, but the WWW had just
   begun.

Web to Email Server Test Pages

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Hello accmailers ...

I'm developing a new resource for people who use
email-only methods to retrieve web pages. If you get
   http://szs.net/emailonly/tests/
you will see immediately what it is.

The idea is have a standard set of very small files
which can be used to test and compare output from
the various servers still available.

What I am especially interested in is the requirements
of people who want to retrieve pages using non-Latin
writing systems, eg: Russian, Arabic, Armenian, Greek,
Urdu, Chinese, etc. I don't think the tests are adequate
yet, and I would appreciate any suggestions for
additional pages -- including, if needed, pages which
are language-specific.

Text files using different encoding systems will follow
next week.

NEWS: new quiet owner

Accmailers ...

The list has a new 'quiet' owner: Eugeny Sattler, a
veteran list member, contributor and moderator.

Quiet owners do not have admin responsibiity, but they
can make executive decisions in case of an emergency.
There are two other quiet owners: Gerry Boyd and Bob
Rankin. So if I get abducted by aliens, the list will

Some good, relevant points here.

My idea is that the FAQ should be published with an Open Content
licence (eg: see http://creativecommons.org/faq/ ), and not be the
property or copyright of any individual.


> In my interpretation the only alternatives are

But Gerry Boyd is a reasonable person who is not going to sue anybody,
or do anything except offer encouragment. That is what I believe, and
I also have correspondence from him stating his intention to pass the
FAQ on to somebody else.

You are right, but the real issue is whether a new FAQ will be accepted
by distribution channels.

I will, of course, keep trying.

That might ultimately be what we have to do. No problem changing the
format -- it has barely changed in ten years, and really needs a
facelift. The name would have to be different, not ACCMAIL.

By the way, it is good to have some discussion of these issues on the
list. Eventually, we will have to persuade the moderators of the
*answers newsgroups to accept a new FAQ. It might be much easier if
the entire process is documented right here in the list archives, for
everybody to see.

The FAQ is posted by the mit.edu FAQ server, not by expita.com.
The same post goes to the three *answers groups, to the unmoderated
groups (alt.bbs.internet, alt.internet.services, alt.online-service,
comp.mail.misc) and to news.newusers.questions, which is moderated
independently.

That makes everything much easier -- details of how to use the FAQ
server are on
   http://www.faqs.org/faq-maintainers/faq-server-help.html

I think the FAQ server could also be used to post translations,
as well as the english-language original.

NEWS: a new accmail topic

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Hello ACCMailers ...

A Listserver 'topic' defines a subset of posts to the list. Until
now, we have had just one topic (NEWS), but we have just added
another named UPDATES.

Posts labelled UPDATES will be restricted to formatted updates of the
main FAQ -- authoritative information that is more-or-less ready for
publication.

Anyone may post an UPDATES message, but the moderators will not
approve it unless it fits the description, ie: the moderation process
will be far more rigorous for UPDATES than for anything else.

Subscribers who want only new FAQ information (ie: those not
interested in discussion) now have a way of getting it. The default
options are to receive all posts as a daily digest. To change your
subscription options to receive only NEWS and UPDATES, please send an
email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
with
SET ACCMAIL NODIGESTS
SET ACCMAIL TOPICS: UPDATES,NEWS

UPDATES: web-to-email servers / Vancouver Webpages Webgate

[Sun Zoom Spark]

This information is based on recent tests, and is believed to be accurate
on the date of the post.


Vancouver Webpages Webgate

Category: web-to-email servers

Posting address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Command: as the subject, or in the body
Web page: http://vancouver-webpages.com/webgate/

Syntax and returned document:
GET 
HTML as MIME attachment. Inserts a base href="" tag as the first
line of the document, so all hypertext links are correct.

MAIL 
HTML as MIME attachment. Modifies links so they point to
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
(a click on the link should open a new email request to
[EMAIL PROTECTED])
Can be used to submit forms which use the GET method (but not the POST
method).

DUMP 
Text dump as MIME attachment. Links are listed at the foot of the text.
Tries to latinise character entity and numeric references by printing
ASCII equivalents. Your email client may display the text as though it
were HTML (does not look good in some clients, eg: Pegasus Mail).

MIME 
Use this for binary files, eg: PDF, images. Returns the file as a MIME
attachment.

HEAD 
Returns just the HTTP headers of the URL (no content -- just information
about the resource). Could be useful if you want to know the size or
date of a file before you fetch it.

SEARCH  
Returns a page of Google search results for your .
Modifies links so they point to
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
(a click on the link should open a new email request to
[EMAIL PROTECTED])

Character encoding issues:
GET and MAIL return HTML attachments which can be viewed in your default
browser. Unicode pages should be the same as they are on the WWW.
DUMP does not understand Unicode.

Recommendation:

Games by Email

[Sun Zoom Spark]

For a long time, the ACCMAIL FAQ has had a entry for the PBeM Server
(for info, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject
help tutorial)

I always thought it was a rather obscure interest until I looked at
the Open Directory category "Games: Online: Play-By-E-Mail" at
  http://dmoz.org/Games/Online/Play-By-E-Mail/
There are hundreds of games that can be played! They must be far more
popular than I had ever imagined, and perhaps worth an expanded entry
in the next FAQ.

Her is teh English category description:
"Play-by-mail gaming involves strategic or roleplaying games which are
played via email or postal mail. Typcially each player will send his
or her orders to the moderator, or GM, who will determine what
happened in the game for the particular turn, and send updates to each
player. Computer-moderated PBEM (play-by-email) gaming uses a computer
program as the moderator instead of a human."

There are more in French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian & Swedish.

Most of the games I have never heard of. I don't even know what kind
of games they are (except for Chess and Go). Does anyone know more
about how these games are played? Does anyone actually do it?

You can request more than one URL in the email body, but it won't be
unlimited!

They don't say what their maximum is. Perhaps they haven't thought about it.

Best to read the explanatory page at http://vancouver-webpages.com/webgate/
"Multiple GET commands may be given, one on each line. The maximum object

UPDATES: web-to-email servers / Agora

[Sun Zoom Spark]

This information is based on recent tests, and is believed to be accurate
on the date of the post.


Agora (dna.affrc.go.jp)

Category: web-to-email servers

Posting address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Command: in the message body
Web page: none, but there is an online help file at
  http://www.dna.affrc.go.jp/misc/Agora/Help.txt

Syntax and returned document:
SEND 
Returns a text dump of the requested page.
If you request a binary file (eg: image, PDF), it returns a
uu-encoded attachment.

SOURCE 
Returns the source HTML of the requested page

BSOURCE 
Returns the requested resource as a uu-encoded attachment.

RSEND  
RSOURCE  
Same as SEND and SOURCE, but Agora will return the requested resource
to 

DEEP 
Returns the requested resource, and documents to which it is linked,
each in a separate email. Note that the total number of lines in
these emails will not be more than 5,000.

Character encoding issues:
The character set of Agora emails is us-ascii. Web pages which have
characters with code positions greater than 127 (eg: diacritics,
Unicode) are corrupted. However, you can use BSOURCE to retrieve such
files as uu-encoded attachments.

Recommendation:
Use SEND if your target is
- a text file
- an English language web page
Use SOURCE if you need
- the markup of an English language web page
Use DEEP only if your target and *all* its links are
- small text files
- small English language web pages
Use BSOURCE if your target is
- a web page in a language which uses diacritics
- a web page in a language which does not use the Latin alphabet
- a binary file

Other:
- The Agora server at dna.affrc.go.jp is for requests to research and
  academic sites only.
- Before using Agora, get and read the 'help' file: send an email to
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] with HELP as the message body.
- Agora attachments always have the name AGORA.BIN. To save the
  attachment, give it a name and filetype appropriate for your system,
  eg: if it is a PDF file, save AGORA.BIN as .pdf
- The maximum length of an Agora email is 5000 lines. This is long
  enough for most web pages and text files, but excludes large uu-
  encoded binary files. Note that uu-encoded files are significantly
  larger than the original.
- Use DEEP only if you are *certain* that you will be able to read the
  return pages, and if you *know* that the combined length of the pages
  is less than 5,000 lines.

Examples:
Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: (anything)
with message body:
SEND http://szs.net/emailonly/tiny.html
SOURCE http://szs.net/emailonly/tiny.html
BSOURCE http://szs.net/emailonly/tiny.gif

This is a great idea! I have filled in the form to add ACCMAIL

NEWS: another new accmail topic

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Hello ACCMailers ...

A Listserver 'topic' defines a subset of posts to the list. Until
now, we have had just two topics (NEWS and UPDATES), but we have
just added another named PBE.

Posts labelled PBE will be restricted to posts that are about
Publishing By Email. "Publishing" means putting content on the
Internet, eg: web pages, blogs, etc -- actively contributing
content rather than passively receiving it.

Anyone may post a PBE message, but the moderators will not approve
it unless it is about publishing using email-only methods.

To change your subscription options to receive only NEWS and PBE,
please send an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
with
SET ACCMAIL NODIGESTS
SET ACCMAIL TOPICS: PBE,NEWS
as the message body.

It was slow to appear, but it is there now. The group

Correction:

Yes, they won't be valid clickable links. But I guess people
who use email-only methods won't be using gmane very much.
However it is a useful extra resource for people who might be
able to help, eg: system admin staff at underfunded universities.

Is WWW4Mail at Trieste Dead?

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Hello accmailers ...

The WWW4Mail server [EMAIL PROTECTED] has not responded to
my tests for over a month. It has not appeared regularly in the Net
Services Server Statistics Robot since 8 August (just 4 times in
September).

Does anyone know if this WWW4Mail server is still alive? Has anyone
had any results from it?

Is WWW4Mail at Trieste Dead?

[Sun Zoom Spark]

OK, the two WWW4Mail servers are not dead if somebody somewhere can
use them. I guess something like this is happening ...
* WWW4Mail makes quite large demands on the server, so it would be
  natural for system admin people to restrict its operation to certain
  times of the day. It puts incoming requests in a queue which may
  take several days to service.
* Possibly, it filters out certain IP blocks or top-level domains.
  That might explain why I get only delivery failures.

But are the WWW4Mail servers still useful? As we all know, WWW4Mail is
very good -- but why would you use it if you don't know when, or if,
you will get a reply?

The context here is the next version of the ACCMAIL FAQ. My principal
idea is that it should focus on how to perform tasks, rather than list
servers which might or might not work. For example: "How can I use
email-only methods to get the latest news about XYZ?", or "How can I
use email-only methods to research my postgraduate dissertation on
subject ABC?"

These are not abstract needs -- they are real tasks. To carry them
out, readers of the FAQ should know which of the available resources
are most suitable. If you need one web page, and you can wait for it,
WWW4Mail is fine. But research often involves following a succession
of links -- and for that, the current WWW4Mail servers would be no
good at all.

On http://szs.net/emailonly/tests/ , I have listed some test pages
which are designed to provide information for a comparative analysis
of web-to-email function. Right now there are eleven low-impact items.
I have results for all the servers except WWW4Mail at Trieste and
Bellanet. I know how WWW4Mail behaves by default, but I would also
like to know, unambiguously, what they actually do now using the
various WWW4mail options. I can't get an answer. Would other people
like to try from they are, and report?

NEWS: Monthly Reminder (October 2004)

[Sun Zoom Spark]

= ACCMAIL Monthly Reminder ===

Posted 01 Oct 2004
This message is intended to inform you what to do before posting to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
the mailing list discussing "Accessing the Internet via Email".

 1. Purpose
 2. The ACCMAIL FAQ: a guide to offline internet access
 3. Usenet
 4. WWW-to-email server performance statistics
 5. Posting to ACCMAIL: language
 6. Posting to ACCMAIL: subject lines
 7. Posting to ACCMAIL: off-topic

 9. Receiving ACCMAIL: digest and single postings
10. ACCMAIL topics

12. Other mailing lists
13. Epilogue

==
1. PURPOSE

This list exists as a forum for communicating news, comments and
questions about email-only methods of accessing the Internet.

This is the place to find out about new versions, ask questions about
the current version, make suggestions for additions/deletions, etc.

Note: ACCMAIL is a MODERATED list, which means that all postings will
be sent to a human for review before being posted to the list.

==
2. THE ACCMAIL FAQ: A GUIDE TO OFFLINE INTERNET ACCESS

In August 2003, after many years dedicated service to the ACCMAIL
community, Mr Gerald Boyd retired as maintainer of the ACCMAIL FAQ.
The most recent version (10.2) was published in April 2002, and
although still very useful, has inevitably become a little out of
date. A new version is being prepared.

To get the latest published version of the ACCMAIL FAQ
 Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with

5. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: LANGUAGE

The language of the list is international English. Don't worry if you
think your English is not very good -- and don't apologise -- MOST
subscribers use English as a foreign or second language.

==
6. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: SUBJECT LINES

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 

==
7. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: OFF-TOPIC

Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list
does NOT deal with topics like:
- General use of your computer.
- 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 95/98/NT problems -- instead ask where do I find
  information regarding a problem (email address, mailing list,
  web page. etc.)

==
8. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: NETIQUETTE

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 CAS

Where We Are

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Here is Listserv's breakdown of ACCMAIL subscribers by country.

But Listserv does not know your actual country of residence. The table
below is really an analyis of the domain registration of your Internet
Service Providers or webmail hosts -- not of where you live.

So all subscribers with .com, .org or .net addresses are included in
the USA count, which is why the USA seems to be the main subscriber
country. My guess is that most of the 'USA' subscribers are actually
in other countries, and the number of countries represented is an
under-estimate.

Perhaps there is more than one thing happening here.
First try the correct email address for getweb:
   [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Those three servers are all working well, so your problem is caused by
something else. Is it unusual for traffic to Cuba to be disrupted? Do
other Cuban subscribers have similar difficulties? Could there be a

6. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: SUBJECT LINES

Mail should have a meaningful subject heading which reflects the
content of the message -- it helps others to find messages of interest

Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list
does NOT deal with topics like:

Where We Are

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Here is Listserv's breakdown of ACCMAIL subscribers by country.

Listserv does not know your actual country of residence. The table
below is really an analyis of the domain registration of your Internet
Service Providers or webmail hosts -- not of where you live.

So all subscribers with .com, .org or .net addresses are included in
the USA count, which is why the USA seems to be the main subscriber
country. My guess is that most of the 'USA' subscribers are actually
in other countries, and the number of countries represented is an
under-estimate.

I tried to do something similar a few years ago while working at a
University in a country with very poor telecom infrastructure. We had access
to the web, but in practice it was unusable, especially in the rainy season.
ACCMAIL methods were the only reliable way to get web pages with important
content, but it is not possible to reconstruct entire usable websites that
way.

Solution:
Find an external collaborator with a shell account. Use the shell account to
grab websites, then package them for email to the remote university.

Most of it can be done with a Unix shell script ...
1. Use wget with flags -rkp to download a browsable website,
   eg: wget -rkp http://domain.org/
2. Archive the website with tar + gzip (or zip),
   eg: zip -r domain.org.zip domain.org
3. Use split with flag -b to break the archive into email-able chunks, each
   with an identifiable name and sequence suffix,
   eg: split -b 32k domain.org.zip domain.org_20041116_
4. Use mpack to email each chunk separately as an attachment
5. Reassemble the chunks at the remote university. The method used depends
   on who (or what) receives the emails. Ideally they should be filtered
   to a local script, but a human being can also do it.

The main problems are those which would be problems for any other ACCMAIL
method -- cookies, broken dynamic content, browser sniffing, etc. However,
on the whole, wget does a good job.

We never tried to automate the process, eg: to accept email requests for new
websites or to refresh existing sites, but it would not have been very
difficult.

I would recommend that you inform the owners or adminstrators of your target
websites. Tell them what you are doing and why. Some of them might package
their website for you.

Hello Bob + Welcome Back ...

The most recent published version is 10.2, which is the version available at
rtfm.mit.edu. In August we started discussions about producing a new
version, eg: August/September archives
http://listserv.aol.com/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind0408d&L=accmail
http://listserv.aol.com/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind0408e&L=accmail
http://listserv.aol.com/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind0409a&L=accmail
http://listserv.aol.com/cgi-bin/wa?A1=ind0409b&L=accmail
etc

(ACCMAIL Archives - August 2004, week 4)

I'm gradually assembling material for a replacement -- in fact I have most
of it ready, but I also have to find the time to edit it. When that is done
I propose to get opinions and improvements from the members of this list, so
it can be presented as a genuinely collaborative publication.

Getting the replacement FAQ on mit.edu may not be so easy, as the contact
is Gerry Boyd, who is apparently non-contactable. We will cross that bridge
when we come to it.

==
5. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: LANGUAGE

The language of the list is international English. Don't worry if you
think your English is not very good -- and don't apologise -- MOST
subscribers use English as a foreign or second language.

==
6. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: SUBJECT LINES

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 

==
7. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: OFF-TOPIC

Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list
does NOT deal with topics like:
- General use of your computer.
- 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 95/98/NT problems -- instead ask where do I find
  information regarding a problem (email address, mailing list,
  web page. etc.)

==
8. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: NETIQUETTE

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.

Where We Are

[Sun Zoom Spark]

Here is Listserv's breakdown of ACCMAIL subscribers by country.

Listserv does not know your actual country of residence. The table
below is really an analyis of the domain registration of your Internet
Service Providers or webmail hosts -- not of where you live.

So all subscribers with .com, .org or .net addresses are included in
the USA count, which is why the USA seems to be the main subscriber
country. My guess is that most of the 'USA' subscribers are actually
in other countries, and the number of countries represented is an
under-estimate.

2. THE ACCMAIL FAQ: A GUIDE TO OFFLINE INTERNET ACCESS

In August 2003, after many years dedicated service to the ACCMAIL
community, Mr Gerald Boyd retired as maintainer of the ACCMAIL FAQ.
The most recent version (10.2) was published in April 2002, and
although still very useful, has inevitably become a little out of
date. A new version is being prepared.

To get the latest published version of the ACCMAIL FAQ
 Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email
 as the message body
or
 Send a blank email to
accmail.faq.en `AT` szs.net
 (replacing `AT` with @ to form a proper email address).

You can also get the file by anonymous FTP at:

5. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: LANGUAGE

The language of the list is international English. Don't worry if you
think your English is not very good -- and don't apologise -- MOST
subscribers use English as a foreign or second language.

==
6. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: SUBJECT LINES

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 

==
7. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: OFF-TOPIC

Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list
does NOT deal with topics like:
- General use of your computer.
- 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 95/98/NT problems -- instead ask where do I find
  information regarding a problem (email address, mailing list,
  web page. etc.)

==
8. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: NETIQUETTE

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 LO
