================================================ 

This is a monthly reminder note for the alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca 
mailing list. It contains all the little details that everyone tends to 
forget. 

The purpose of the alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca mailing list is the 
discussion of alternative photographic processing techniques. All 
messages sent to this list should be related to alternative printing 
processes. 

This mailing list is hosted by the University of Saskatchewan as a 
public service to the academic community.

This is a free service, as such there is no waranty or contract.  
I manage the list at my own discression reflecting the needs and
standards of the alt-photo-process list community.

All messages sent through the list are archived and available to
the general public.  If you do not wish to have your views and email
address made public, do not post messages to this list.

The list of subscribers and their email addresses are kept confidential.
---------- 

THE RULES: 

There is only one rule for this mailing list. Everyone must be treated 
with respect. The list relies upon the willingness of its participants 
to share information. I expect everyone to treat all members of the list in a 
respectful manner. Personal attacks or "flames" will not be tolerated. 
Profanity is not acceptable. Its use will get one banned from the list. 
---------- 

THE MINDERS: 

A small group of list members have volunteered to "mind" the list. They 
are responsible for making sure that everyone behaves appropriately. If 
you are concerned about something that was said or done, please contact 
myself or one of the minders. It is best not to complain about list 
members behaviour on the list. It usually more effective to solve 
problems quietly off the list. If you are unhappy with anything happening 
on this list please contact me: 

Gord Holtslander holtsg@duke.usask.ca (list manager) or one of the 
minders. 

The minders are: 

Adam Kimball akimball@finebrand.com 
Art Chakalis achakali@freenet.columbus.oh.us 
Bob Schramm  schrammrus@hotmail.com
Dave Soemarko FotoDave@aol.com 
Sandy King sanking@hubcap.clemson.edu 

---------- 

THE REPLYTO FEATURE: 

Messages sent to you via the alt-photo-process list are set up to "behave" 
differently from messages sent to you by an individual. 

When you "reply" (using your email program's reply feature) to messages 
you receive from the alt-photo-process mailing list it will automatically 
be directed back to the mailing list and NOT to the person who sent the 
message. The list program creates a replyto: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca 
line in the mail message header. This tells your email program to send 
the message back to the list rather than the person who originally sent 
the message. 

If you want to send a private message back to someone who sent a message 
through the list by replying, you must change the address from 
alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca to something else. Be sure to check which 
address it is directed at. I can't give specific instructions, each 
email program works differently. There have been many private emails 
sent to the list. 

---------- 

ATTACHMENTS 

Attachments are not welcome on this list. They are large. They usually 
can only be accessed with a specific program. A significant portion of the 
list is unable to use attachments. Please do not send attachments to 
the list. All email to the list should be send as plain text. This is 
the one and only standard used by all computers and all email 
programs. 

Some email programs by default send email messages as attachments, 
Micro$oft's Outlook Express and Netscape's Communicator are often set up 
to send all email messages as two attachments, one in plain text (ascii) 
and one in html (www format). If you use these programs please change 
your setting so that your messages will be sent as plain text. 

Attachments are files that are attached to an email message. The email 
system is designed to send messages using standard ASCII character set. 
Attachments are a way of sending a content that uses characters outside of 
the ascii standard. 

VIRUSES

There are many computer viruses that are spread via email.  Email
containing virus atachments and scripts have gone through this list.
I can not prevent these from being sent through the list.  I 
recommend that everyone subscribed to the list get a good anti-virus 
program.  If you do not, your computer will eventually get a virus.

WARNINGS,  TAXES, END OF THE WORLD ETC.... 

There are always a number of hoaxes traversing the net, where one is urged 
to email an urgent warning message concerning some catastrophic new virus, 
government policy, etc to everyone you know.... These are almost always 
hoaxes. Do not send copies of these to the list, even if you are sure it 
is legitimate. 

UNSUBSCRIBING 

Do not send unsubscribe messages to the list.  
To unsubscribe from this list send a message to this address: 

    alt-photo-process-request@sask.usask.ca 

with the message 

    unsubscribe alt-photo-process-l 
                                       
Please note the last character is the letter "L" not the number "one" 

If this does not work the mailserv program will send you an error
message.  If you can not unsubscribe yourself please contact me
privately
