>**** Help for Majordomo@igtc.com:
>
>
>This help message is being sent to you from the Majordomo mailing list
>management system at Majordomo@igtc.com.
>
>This is version 1.94.4 of Majordomo.
>
>If you're familiar with mail servers, an advanced user's summary of
>Majordomo's commands appears at the end of this message.
>
>Majordomo is an automated system which allows users to subscribe
>and unsubscribe to mailing lists, and to retrieve files from list
>archives.
>
>You can interact with the Majordomo software by sending it commands
>in the body of mail messages addressed to "Majordomo@igtc.com".
>Please do not put your commands on the subject line; Majordomo does
>not process commands in the subject line.
>
>You may put multiple Majordomo commands in the same mail message.
>Put each command on a line by itself.
>
>If you use a "signature block" at the end of your mail, Majordomo may
>mistakenly believe each line of your message is a command; you will
>then receive spurious error messages. To keep this from happening,
>either put a line starting with a hyphen ("-") before your signature,
>or put a line with just the word
>
> end
>
>on it in the same place. This will stop the Majordomo software from
>processing your signature as bad commands.
>
>Here are some of the things you can do using Majordomo:
>
>I. FINDING OUT WHICH LISTS ARE ON THIS SYSTEM
>
>To get a list of publicly-available mailing lists on this system, put the
>following line in the body of your mail message to Majordomo@igtc.com:
>
> lists
>
>Each line will contain the name of a mailing list and a brief description
>of the list.
>
>To get more information about a particular list, use the "info" command,
>supplying the name of the list. For example, if the name of the list
>about which you wish information is "demo-list", you would put the line
>
> info demo-list
>
>in the body of the mail message.
>
>II. SUBSCRIBING TO A LIST
>
>Once you've determined that you wish to subscribe to one or more lists on
>this system, you can send commands to Majordomo to have it add you to the
>list, so you can begin receiving mailings.
>
>To receive list mail at the address from which you're sending your mail,
>simply say "subscribe" followed by the list's name:
>
> subscribe demo-list
>
>If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address
>(a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account,
>or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears
>in the "From:" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to
>the command. For instance, if you're sending a request from your work
>account, but wish to receive "demo-list" mail at your personal account
>(for which we will use "jqpublic@my-isp.com" as an example), you'd put
>the line
>
> subscribe demo-list jqpublic@my-isp.com
>
>in the mail message body.
>
>Based on configuration decisions made by the list owners, you may be added
>to the mailing list automatically. You may also receive notification
>that an authorization key is required for subscription. Another message
>will be sent to the address to be subscribed (which may or may not be the
>same as yours) containing the key, and directing the user to send a
>command found in that message back to Majordomo@igtc.com. (This can be
>a bit of extra hassle, but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra
>email by someone who forged requests from your address.) You may also
>get a message that your subscription is being forwarded to the list owner
>for approval; some lists have waiting lists, or policies about who may
>subscribe. If your request is forwarded for approval, the list owner
>should contact you soon after your request.
>
>Upon subscribing, you should receive an introductory message, containing
>list policies and features. Save this message for future reference; it
>will also contain exact directions for unsubscribing. If you lose the
>intro mail and would like another copy of the policies, send this message
>to Majordomo@igtc.com:
>
> intro demo-list
>
>(substituting, of course, the real name of your list for "demo-list").
>
>III. UNSUBSCRIBING FROM MAILING LISTS
>
>Your original intro message contains the exact command which should be
>used to remove your address from the list. However, in most cases, you
>may simply send the command "unsubscribe" followed by the list name:
>
> unsubscribe demo-list
>
>(This command may fail if your provider has changed the way your
>address is shown in your mail.)
>
>To remove an address other than the one from which you're sending
>the request, give that address in the command:
>
> unsubscribe demo-list jqpublic@my-isp.com
>
>In either of these cases, you can tell Majordomo@igtc.com to remove
>the address in question from all lists on this server by using "*"
>in place of the list name:
>
> unsubscribe *
> unsubscribe * jqpublic@my-isp.com
>
>IV. FINDING THE LISTS TO WHICH AN ADDRESS IS SUBSCRIBED
>
>To find the lists to which your address is subscribed, send this command
>in the body of a mail message to Majordomo@igtc.com:
>
> which
>
>You can look for other addresses, or parts of an address, by specifying
>the text for which Majordomo should search. For instance, to find which
>users at my-isp.com are subscribed to which lists, you might send the
>command
>
> which my-isp.com
>
>Note that many list owners completely or fully disable the "which"
>command, considering it a privacy violation.
>
>V. FINDING OUT WHO'S SUBSCRIBED TO A LIST
>
>To get a list of the addresses on a particular list, you may use the
>"who" command, followed by the name of the list:
>
> who demo-list
>
>Note that many list owners allow only a list's subscribers to use the
>"who" command, or disable it completely, believing it to be a privacy
>violation.
>
>VI. RETRIEVING FILES FROM A LIST'S ARCHIVES
>
>Many list owners keep archives of files associated with a list. These
>may include:
>- back issues of the list
>- help files, user profiles, and other documents associated with the list
>- daily, monthly, or yearly archives for the list
>
>To find out if a list has any files associated with it, use the "index"
>command:
>
> index demo-list
>
>If you see files in which you're interested, you may retrieve them by
>using the "get" command and specifying the list name and archive filename.
>For instance, to retrieve the files called "profile.form" (presumably a
>form to fill out with your profile) and "demo-list.9611" (presumably the
>messages posted to the list in November 1996), you would put the lines
>
> get demo-list profile.form
> get demo-list demo-list.9611
>
>in your mail to Majordomo@igtc.com.
>
>VII. GETTING MORE HELP
>
>To contact a human site manager, send mail to Majordomo-Owner@igtc.com.
>To contact the owner of a specific list, send mail to that list's
>approval address, which is formed by adding "-approval" to the user-name
>portion of the list's address. For instance, to contact the list owner
>for demo-list@igtc.com, you would send mail to demo-list-approval@igtc.com.
>
>To get another copy of this help message, send mail to Majordomo@igtc.com
>with a line saying
>
> help
>
>in the message body.
