David Steffen > I can post to this group via usenet or via email >(bionews@genbank.bio.net). From your comment I infer that posting via >usenet causes some problems. Would posting by email be better? Which is more convenient for you? Most Usenet users have .signature files in their home directories. Most Unix mailers and rn programs will check for a file named .signature and append the contents to the end of any message you send. It is considered good form to include a signature at the end of your messages, containing at least your prefered email address and maybe some other addresses. That way, everyone can just ignore the header junk at the tops of their incoming mail files. The mailer I'm using now is supposed to do that for me; if you don't see my name and address below this sentence, you'll know I haven't set things up properly. - Una UNASMITH@PUCC : BITNET unasmith@pucc.Princeton.EDU : Internet una@tropic.Princeton.EDU : Internet
