Hi:

I've seen several postings to this email reflector lately to either subscribe or unsubscribe. I want to make sure everyone understands how to interact with this mail list and its administrative program.

This ITU-SG16 mail list is administered by the LISTSERV program. To subscribe, unsubscribe or get a list of past messages, you must send commands to LISTSERV, not the mail list. If you send commands to the ITU-SG16 mail list, those commands simply get broadcast to the list with no action taken by LISTSERV. Mail list administrative commands are sent to: listserv@mailbag.intel.com (mailto:listserv@mailbag.intel.com)

The Subject line is ignored. The command is entered into the body of the message and has the syntax of: command ITU-SG16 parameters

Some of commands with their <parameters> include: help ; to get command information to interact with LISTSERV info ; to get command information to interact with LISTSERV subscribe itu-sg16 <your full name> ; to subscribe to the list signoff itu-sg16 ; to unsubscribe to the list index itu-sg16 ; to get a list of digest files containing messages sent to the list get itu-sg16 <digest file> <file type> ; to get messages that have been sent to the list

If your email address has changed (e.g. your domain name changed), you won't be able to "signoff" because you're sending the "signoff" using your new email address. Please contact me directly, stating your old email address and I will "delete" it from the list. You may then "subscribe" using your new email address.

It's important not to reply to the mail list unless you're certain the response should be sent to the entire list. An example of a response that should *not* be sent to the entire list is an automated "Out of office reply". Some mail programs with automated responses are not well behaved and will respond every time with "respond to all". This can cause the list to enter an endless loop, fill everyone's mail boxes and crash the LISTSERV. If you cannot control your email's automated responses, please "signoff" from the list while you are away and "subscribe" when you return.

You may contact me directly if you have questions or requests.
