Hi,
Mailbase have just upgraded the software used to run Allstat.
Changes to JOIN command
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's been a change in the way the JOIN command works, of course
existing users won't notice a change, but you'll find that if you
try to join a new Mailbase list you'll receive a message from
Mailbase asking if you really want to join the list which you'll
have to reply to. This has been introduced to prevent anyone
being added to a Mailbase list without their consent.
Further details are available at
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/docs/confirm.html
Introduction of DIGEST Command
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another change, which is probably of more interest to existing
users is the new DIGEST command. This will allow you to receive
Allstat messages as a single large message. This Allstat digest
will be sent every night, or when more than 20 messages have been
sent to the list.
If you want to receive Allstat in digest form then you should send
the following command to [log in to unmask] (and please, NOT to
[log in to unmask])
set allstat digest
If you ever want to receive messages normally you can countermand
the digest command by sending the following message to the same
address
set allstat nodigest
Further details can be found at
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/docs/digest.html
If you have any questions, or problems using the DIGEST command
then please contact me at
[log in to unmask]
Cheers,
Matt
