Subject: You are now subscribed to the AMEND1-L list

Sun, 25 Sep 1994 10:55:30

Your  subscription to  the  AMEND1-L  list (Free  Speech  Discussion) has  been
accepted.

Please  save this  message  for future  reference, especially  if  you are  not
familiar with LISTSERV. This might look like  a waste of disk space now, but in
6 months you will be glad you  saved this information when you realize that you
cannot  remember what  are the  lists you  are subscribed  to, or  what is  the
command to  leave the list to  avoid filling up  your mailbox while you  are on
vacations.  In fact,  you  should create  a new  mail  folder for  subscription
confirmation messages  like this one, and  for the "welcome messages"  from the
list owners that  you are will occasionally receive after  subscribing to a new
list.

To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just send
mail to AMEND1-L@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU.  This is called "sending mail  to the list",
because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the
people who  have subscribed.  This address (AMEND1-L@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU)  is also
called the  "list address".  You must  never try  to send  any command  to that
address, as it would be distributed to  all the people who have subscribed. All
commands must  be sent to  the "LISTSERV address",  LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.BITNET (or
LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU). It  is very important to  understand the difference
between the two, but fortunately it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is
like a  FAX number, and the  list address is like  a normal phone line.  If you
make your  FAX call someone's  regular phone number by  mistake, it will  be an
unpleasant experience for him but you  will probably be excused the first time.
If you  do it regularly,  however, he  will probably get  upset and send  you a
nasty complaint.  It is the same  with mailing lists, with  the difference that
you are calling hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, so a lot more
people get annoyed if you use the wrong number.

You may leave the  list at any time by sending a  "SIGNOFF AMEND1-L" command to
LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.BITNET  (or  LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU).  You  can  also  tell
LISTSERV how  you want it to  confirm the receipt  of messages you send  to the
list. If you do  not trust the system, send a "SET  AMEND1-L REPRO" command and
LISTSERV will send  you a copy of your  own messages, so that you  can see that
the message was distributed  and did not get damaged on the  way. After a while
you may  find that this  is getting annoying,  especially if your  mail program
does not  tell you that the  message is from you  when it informs you  that new
mail  has arrived  from AMEND1-L.  If  you send  a "SET  AMEND1-L ACK  NOREPRO"
command, LISTSERV  will mail  you a short  acknowledgement instead,  which will
look different in your mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will know
immediately that  this is an acknowledgement  you can read later.  Finally, you
can turn off acknowledgements completely with "SET AMEND1-L NOACK NOREPRO".

Contributions sent to this list are  automatically archived. You can get a list
of  the available  archive  files by  sending an  "INDEX  AMEND1-L" command  to
LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.BITNET  (or  LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU).  You can  then  order
these files with a "GET AMEND1-L LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database
search facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE"  command for more information on the
latter.

Please note  that it is presently  possible for other people  to determine that
you are signed  up to the list  through the use of the  "REVIEW" command, which
returns the e-mail address and name of  all the subscribers. If you do not want
your name to be visible, just issue a "SET AMEND1-L CONCEAL" command.

More information  on LISTSERV commands can  be found in the  LISTSERV reference
card,  which  you  can  retrieve  by  sending  an  "INFO  REFCARD"  command  to
LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.BITNET (or LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU).
