SC - subscribed to the SCA-UNIVERSITAS list

[Alderton, Philippa]

Here's the information for SCA-Universitas. The List is intended to help us
as SCAdians deal with the academic world, whether researching using academic
sources, or presenting papers in academic symposiums.

Subject: You are now subscribed to the SCA-UNIVERSITAS list

>Your subscription to the SCA-UNIVERSITAS  list (SCA Forum for Research in
>Medieval and Renaissance Re-enactment) has been accepted.
>
>Please save this message for future  reference, especially if this is the
>first time you are subscribing 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.
>
>To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the list,
>just send  mail to SCA-UNIVERSITAS at LIST.UVM.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
>(SCA-UNIVERSITAS at LIST.UVM.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 at LIST.UVM.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 re-dials 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.
>
>You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF SCA-UNIVERSITAS"
>command to LISTSERV at LIST.UVM.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 SCA-UNIVERSITAS 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 SCA-UNIVERSITAS. If you  send a "SET
>SCA-UNIVERSITAS  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 SCA-UNIVERSITAS NOACK NOREPRO".
>
>Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription options
>have been  set to "REPRO MIME"  rather than the usual  LISTSERV defaults.
>For  more   information  about   subscription  options,  send   a  "QUERY
>SCA-UNIVERSITAS" command to LISTSERV at LIST.UVM.EDU.
>
>Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
>list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX SCA-UNIVERSITAS"
>command to LISTSERV at LIST.UVM.EDU.  You can then order these  files with a
>"GET  SCA-UNIVERSITAS  LOGxxxx"  command, or  using  LISTSERV's  database
>search facilities. Send  an "INFO DATABASE" command  for more information
>on the latter.
>
>This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive  the
>digested version of the postings, just issue a SET SCA-UNIVERSITAS DIGEST
>command.
>
>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 SCA-UNIVERSITAS 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 at LIST.UVM.EDU.
