(updated Feb 9, 1995) Dear colleague, Here is a short guide how to (un)subscribe to the forest mailing list. If you still have problems please send e-mail to "forest-request@nic.funet.fi". ########################################################################### # # # REMEMBER ! # # EVERY MESSAGE SENT TO "forest@nic.funet.fi" is forwarded to all members # # of the list. Please, DO NOT send any mailserver commnads like # # 'unsubscribe' to this address. # # # ########################################################################### ! Please note the correct spelling of the list name. The occasional messages ! from the "forest-owner" -address are due to the mailserver setup. Any ! messages to that address are NOT forwarded to the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEAVING THE LIST: To remove yourself from the list, send E-mail to "mailserver@nic.funet.fi" and write the following command on the first row of the message body: -> unsubscribe forest ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JOINING THE LIST: To join the forest-list, send an E-mail message to -> mailserver@nic.funet.fi You will need to issue the "subscribe" command; the listserver software will then extract your E-mail address from your message and add it to the recipient list. The first row of your message should be: -> subscribe forest <your first name> <your last name> For example, using the standard Unix mail program, the exchange would look like this: -> % mail mailserver@nic.funet.fi -> Subject: <return> -> -> subscribe forest John Smith -> . -> % The listserver program will reply to you with a confirmation message, and you are then able to receive messages from the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OBTAINING MORE INFORMATION: The list server also understands many other commands; send the command 'help' to mailserver@nic.funet.fi for more info. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SENDING E-MAIL MESSAGES TO ALL LIST MEMBERS ! Operation of the mailing list is very simple: all messages that are sent to the address: "forest@nic.funet.fi" are forwarded to all members who have subscribed to the FOREST list. If you have any problems, please send a message to the list-owner: forest-request@nic.funet.fi Jarmo Saarikko Listowner of the forest-list -- Finnish Forest Research Institute METLA, EMIT-Laboratory Unioninkatu 40 A, FIN-00170 HELSINKI, Finland E-mail: Jarmo.Saarikko@metla.fi Phone: +358-0-85705365 Fax: +358-0-625308 WWW HomePage: http://www.metla.fi/pp/JSaa/jarmo.html
