Dear medieval-religion list members,
Our very own Doctor Elasticus has passed along a query, regarding how to
join us on the medieval-religion list. As procedures have recently been
altered slightly, I'll take advantage of Bill's question and reply to
all on the list (just in case you might wish to pass it along to
colleagues who aren't yet members, but whom you feel might be
interested)...
1.Send a message to:
[log in to unmask]
(note: this address feeds messages directly to an automated computer
program; messages sent to this address to NOT go to me or Carolyn or
John or Otfried sitting by the computer, whisky bottle and cigarettes at the
ready! :-> )
with this command in the body of your message:
join medieval-religion firstname(s) lastname
(replacing 'firstname(s)' with your own first name(s) and 'lastname'
with your surname)
Do NOT type in your e-mail address!
2.If your email program puts a signature file or a "footer" in your
messages, EITHER disable this feature when you send your message, OR
type the word:
stop
on the next line. If you don't do this, the Mailbase program will
treat your signature as if it were a command, leading to instantaneous
nuclear strikes on all the world's medieval manuscript collections.
(Only kidding: including a signature in your message, without having
typed the word 'stop' as indicated above would mean that Mailbase would
be unable to understand your message, and send it back to you.)
An example message
To : [log in to unmask]
Subject : An example message
---- -Message Text -----
join medieval-religion Tommaso d'Aquino
stop
--
T. d'Aquino, University of Paris
3. When you have sent your join command, you will receive a message
from the Mailbase computer asking you to accept this command. You'll
have to reply to this message before you become a list member.
This allows the Mailbase computer to check your e-mail address, and
makes it more difficult for potential junk-mailers to infest the list
with their trash.
Best wishes to all,
George
