The Mac AV list is for users of the Centris
660av, Quadra
660av, and Quadra
840av computers. To join the list, send email to
listserv@listserv.uark.edu
with the command "subscribe MacAV-L your name" in the body
(leaving out the quote marks and substituting your
name mfor "your name.".
The following is from the message sent to subscribers to
the Mac AV list.
Please save this message for future reference, especially
if this is the first time you subscribe to an electronic
mailing list. If you ever need to leave the list, you will
find the necessary instructions below. Perhaps more
importantly, saving a copy of this message (and of all
future subscription notices from other mailing lists) in a
special mail folder will give you instant access to the list
of mailing lists that you are subscribed to. This may prove
very useful the next time you go on vacation and need to
leave the lists temporarily so as not to fill up your
mailbox while you are away! You should also save the
"welcome messages" from the list owners that you will
occasionally receive after subscribing to a new list.
Posting to the list
To send a message to all the people currently subscribed
to the list, just send mail to macav-l@listserv.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. The address macav-l@listserv.uark.edu
is 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@listserv.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 that connects you to a machine,
whereas the list address is like a normal voice line
connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake and dial
the fax number when you wanted to talk to someone on the
phone, you will quickly realize that you used the wrong
number and call again. No harm will have been done. If on
the other hand you accidentally make your fax call someone's
voice line, the person receiving the call will be
inconvenienced, especially if your fax then redials every 5
minutes. The fact that most people will eventually connect
the fax machine to the voice line to allow the fax to go
through and make the calls stop does not mean that you
should continue to send faxes to the voice number. People
would just get mad at you. It works pretty much the same way
with mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling
hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, and
consequently you can expect a lot of people to get upset if
you consistently send commands to the list address.
Unsubscribing
You may leave the list at any time by sending a
"SIGNOFF MACAV-L" command to listserv@listserv.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 MACAV-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 MACAV-L. If you
send a "SET MACAV-L ACK NOREPRO" command, LISTSERV
will mail you a short acknowledgment instead, which will
look different in your mailbox directory. With most mail
programs you will know immediately that this is an
acknowledgment you can read later. Finally, you can turn off
acknowledgments completely with "SET MACAV-L NOACK
NOREPRO."
Following instructions from the list owner, your
subscription options have been set to "MIME" rather than the
usual LISTSERV defaults. For more information about
subscription options, send a "QUERY MACAV-L" command
to LISTSERV@UAFSYSB.UARK.EDU.
Archives
Contributions sent to this list are automatically
archived. You can get a list of the available archive files
by sending an "INDEX MACAV-L" command to listserv@listserv.uark.edu.
You can then order these files with a "GET MACAV-L
LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search
facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more
information on the latter.
Digest mode
This list is available in digest form. If you wish to
receive the digested version of the postings, just issue a
SET MACAV-L DIGEST 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@listserv.uark.edu.
