EDITOR's NOTE. Sooner or later many of you will find some of the
information below useful.I urge you to read and save it. In particular, I
ask you to note the information about ending your subscription. Please do
not abandon NABOKV-L without first signing off. If your address has
changed after you sign on and you leave NABOKV-L L without signing off,
your "virtual" existence is virtually indestructable and the editor will
get back all "your" mail for all eternity. After a few hundred subscribers
come and go, this, as you can imagine, becomes something of a problem.
-----------------------------------------
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.
You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF NABOKV-L"
command to LISTSERV@UCSBVM.UCSB.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 NABOKV-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 NABOKV-L. If you send a "SET NABOKV-L
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 NABOKV-L NOACK NOREPRO".
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX NABOKV-L"
command to LISTSERV@UCSBVM.UCSB.EDU. You can then order these files with
a "GET NABOKV-L 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 NABOKV-L DIGEST
command.
Please note that it is presently possible for anybody 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 NABOKV-L 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@UCSBVM.UCSB.EDU.
