Message-ID: <30694@nigel.ee.udel.edu> Date: 17 Sep 90 13:14:07 GMT Sender: mmdf@ee.udel.edu Lines: 30 Dear Willis, if you want to subscribe to an area you must email amiga-relay-request@udel.edu but don't you dare do this! I've done exactly that and found the whole of comp.sys.amiga on my personal account. Talk to your administrator (if he or she has got enough disk space to waste) to introduce a special account for these areas if you don't want to bother flipping through 1.2megs of mail to look for the ones personally addressed to you (what I am doing just now). Someone claimedd that the email that you should sent to the above email address should be made up of two lines (subject and one body line) like subscribe comp.sys.amiga or subscribe comp.sys.amiga.games depending on the area you want to subscribe to. Anyway, the email I sent did not contain a single subscribe but I got the whole bunch nonetheless and am now trying to find a way to get rid of these...and all I wanted was PD software from the net :-) Let us know what happened to you then, right? hoover --------------------------------------------------------------------------- hoover (Uwe Sch"urkamp) "our obligation is to survive and flourish, hoover@math4.uni-bielefeld.de not just to ourselves, but to that cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring." --- Carl Sagan, `Cosmos' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
