Hi folks,
It's getting closer to the silly season, and many of you are probably
preparing to take holidays, change jobs, get so tanked you forget how to
use email, etc, and might want to either unsubscribe or postpone your
alt-photo-process subscription. Well, here are the instructions for
doing so...

All of these commands should be sent via an email message to
listproc@cse.unsw.edu.au (NOTE THE ADDRESS). There should be nothing
else in the message, and it helps if you leave the subject line blank,
or make it meaningless (eg. "a"). Commands should be at the start of a
line, preferably the first line.

To subscribe: sub alt-photo-process Your Name

To unsubscribe: unsub alt-photo-process

To postpone: set alt-photo-process mail postpone

To start up again -
digest mode: set alt-photo-process mail digest
nornmal mode: set alt-photo-process mail ack

If you have any difficulties, or just a question which is of an
administrative nature (list-wise), fire it off to me at
stevea@cse.unsw.edu.au.

PLEASE NOTE: I have resigned my current position to complete my studies
full-time. This should be effective January 2, after which I will only
be logging in to check list operation, and any other email, ONCE PER
WEEK. This means I'll be a bit more savage about unsubscribing people
over bounced messages (ie. if your account disappears, your mailbox
fills up, your site becomes unreachable, etc). If you cannot remember
how to subscribe, print this message off and keep it handy, just in
case. Similarly, anyone that misbehaves will be temporarily ostracised
until such time that they can explain themselves to me, which will mean
an absence of at least a week. Sorry folks, but I currently get in
excess of 800 messages per week, and don't want to spend a full day
weeding through them.

Have a happy holiday season...

cheers

p.s. I have been a bit slack with bounced email messages. Quite a few a
set to follow. Please note that in the future I will not guarantee that
they will be reposted, and I may just warn the sender that their email
address has changed, or something similar. I may also just delete them
and forget about them :-)
