X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL35 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-britdisc@warwick.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Hello everyone, As some of you know, and probably most of you don't, I'm about to head off to Australia for several months. Obviously, this means that I can't really keep the diary and britdisc running very easily. I've left Sammy in charge of both whilst I'm away, so can you please field diary related stuff to him. He's also doing the majordomo admin stuff for britdisc, although you can all help to reduce the amount of work he has to do here. Some tips for britdisc: o Don't post things that look like commands. e.g. a subject or very short mail containing things like "help", "unsubscribe", "remove" etc. o Don't post large things, especially not over 40K. MS Word attachments are a definite no-no. If you want to post large things, use plain text or put things up on a web-site and provide a URL. o Subscribe / unsubscribe by sending mail to majordomo@csv.warwick.ac.uk with the following text in the body: subscribe britdisc or unsubscribe britdisc Don't make up other variations, or just mail Sammy. Do it properly, and it'll all happen automatically. If you're changing mail addresses, unsubscribe from your old address by sending a mail from that account if you can. If this isn't possible, use the form: unsubscribe britdisc old@email.address which will require approval. o Send diary related stuff to Sammy, serai@csv.warwick.ac.uk o Above all, have fun! Cheers, and have a good year, one and all... Ralf -- I will soon stop using this account as my primary e-mail address.
