set alt-photo-process mail ack
to normal interactive messages, or
set alt-photo-process mail digest
if you prefer digest mode. If you get a message from listproc saying
that you're not subscribed, then send a message of the form
sub alt-photo-process Joe Bloggs
to listproc@cse.unsw.edu.au (note the address), but change "Joe Bloggs"
to your name (unless your name is Joe Bloggs of course).
If you need to unsubscribe because you're suffering dementia induced by
dichromates, or some other less drastic reason, send the message
unsub alt-photo-process
to listproc@cse.unsw.edu.au (note the address). If you're lucky enough
to be leaving your postcode/zipcode for holidays and want to prevent
your mailbox exploding, send the message
set alt-photo-process mail postpone
to listproc@cse.unsw.edu.au (note the address). To reverse the
procedure, follow the guidelines above.
If anyone has difficulties with the list, feel free to send me some
personal email and I'll try and help. Give me a day or two to respond
before panicking.
The list will mostly be on autopilot between tonight my time (23rd
night), until the 2nd. After the 2nd I will only be checking the list
regularly on a weekly basis (and infrequently in between). This means I
need some cooperation from the list members (you) to help make the list
viable.
Firstly, please play nice. Don't flame each other, and don't abuse the
list with advertising (unless it is within the previously detailed
guidelines, or you have my okay).
Second, please remember not to make message overly long (unless you
believe it is truly necessary). This is particularly important when
quoting a previous message.
Third, try to remember to make private responses via private email, and
don't post single line messages unless they contain important
information.
Finally, if you believe the list is deteriorating, and that someone
needs to be spoken to, please send me some personal email as to who or
what has aggrevated you, and I'll try and act on it. My prefered email
address is stevea@cse.unsw.edu.au (note it is steveA, not steve).
With a bit of work (from me) and restraint (from you), I'm sure we can
keep the list working as well as it currently does.
Hope everyone has a particularly happy holiday season, and, for those
of you that follow the same calendar as I do, have a very happy New
Year.
cheers
-steve
