The mining-history e-mail discussion list devoted to the history, and
archaeology, of mining is part of the JISC funded communications within UK
higher education. As a result of competative tendering, the provision of
support for discussion lists within JISC is being transferred from
'mailbase' at the University of Newcastle to CLRC at the Rutherford
Appleton, Didcot. The transition is due to take place on 27 November 2000,
after which date the mining-history list will be known as
[log in to unmask] Further information on the transistion is
available at the following URL - www.jiscmail.ac.uk
Transfer to jiscmail will not immediately affect existing users of the list
and the 'mailbase' address will remain effective for at least 6 months with
all messages being forwarded to the new address.
At the same time as the transition, new ListServ software will be brought
into use which will require a new command message format. I will provide
more information closer to the transition date but list member wishing to
familiarise themselves with the new system should go to the above URL and
access the user command reference card available on that site. The reference
card is best viewed in .pdf format using Adobe Acrobat - go to the following
