The mailing list, globsol@interval.louisiana.edu, is a mailing list with automatic maintenance by the "majordomo" software. This list is meant to stimulate discussion of topics on GlobSol package. Anyone may automatically subscribe or unsubscribe themselves from the list. To subscribe, send mail to: majordomo@interval.louisiana.edu and include the line: subscribe globsol in the body. Similarly, to unsubscribe, send mail to majordomo@interval.louisiana.edu, and include the line: unsubscribe globsol in the body. To get a complete list of commands available (such as adding persons other than yourself to the list), send mail to majordomo@interval.louisiana.edu, and include the line: help in the body. To send to everyone in the list, send your message to: globsol@interval.louisiana.edu Another option is to subscribe to the list globsol-digest in the same manner as above. The digest is only sent periodically, and consists of collections of messages from globsol. --------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION: How do you retrieve messages that have previously been posted? ANSWER: The majordomo software should allow you to access both the digest and a monthly archive. At present, all of these are kept. For a command summary, send a message to majordomo@interval.louisiana.edu The body of the message should consist of the single line help Archives from a particular month, say, from May 2007, are stored as globsol.0705 Thus, to get the May 2007 archive, you would send a message with the following single line as its body: get globsol globsol.0705 The majordomo software will then send you the file globol.0705, and send you notification that it has done so in a separate message. --------------------------------------------------------------- R.
