CHOMSKY Members:

This is a reminder of the various Listserv commands available to you.

The easiest and fastest way to make changes to your CHOMSKY subscription
is from the "Join or leave the list " hyperlink at our archives <
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/chomsky.html>.

All of the following commands *must* be sent to the LISTSERV address.

The LISTSERV address is:

<[log in to unmask]>

You may leave the list at anytime by sending a:

UNSUBSCRIBE CHOMSKY
or
SIGNOFF CHOMSKY

in the body of the message.

Example:

TO:             [log in to unmask]
SUBJECT:
-------------  Message Text --------------
UNSUBSCRIBE CHOMSKY


You *must* UNSUBSCRIBE from the same address you subscribed with.


No Mail
_______


To TEMPORARILY stop incoming mail for CHOMSKY you should issue the NOMAIL
command.

NOMAIL will TEMPORARILY STOP your CHOMSKY mail until YOU start it
again.  The command syntax is:


SET CHOMSKY NOMAIL

Example:

TO:             [log in to unmask]
SUBJECT:
-------------  Message Text --------------
SET CHOMSKY NOMAIL

Use the NOMAIL command if you are going to be away for a few days and do
not want to come back to 500 pieces of CHOMSKY mail.  This is a great
command because you can still send information/postings to the list
although you will not receive any posts. NOMAIL your mail as often as you
like.

When you are ready to start receiving CHOMSKY mail again, issue the
following command:

SET CHOMSKY MAIL

This command will start your mail again.

Example:

TO:             [log in to unmask]
SUBJECT:
-------------  Message Text --------------
SET CHOMSKY MAIL


A daily DIGEST is available by issuing the following command:

SET CHOMSKY DIGEST

You will receive all the individual postings in one e-mail message.

You can then simply scan the table of contents and decide if there is
anything there of interest to you.  If there is, you can check it out. If
not . . . delete the digest.  You are informed and you have one less
e-mail message

Example:

TO:             [log in to unmask]
SUBJECT:
-------------  Message Text --------------
SET CHOMSKY DIGEST

A 38 page LISTSERV User's Guide is available and can be viewed online
or retrieved from their FTP server in a variety of word processing
formats.

You may need to scroll down the page to find it.

    =========
     NO HTML:
    =========

Only send e-mail to our list in standard ASCII and do not use HTML code
embedding.

If you want your postings to be read by the broadest number of people
please refrain from sending ANY e-mail to the CHOMSKY list using HTML code
embedding.  It simply can not be read my the MAJORITY of people using
e-mail.

If your mail program supports fancy formatting (bold, italic, underlining,
color and so on) in the mail messages it generates, DO NOT use those
features on the CHOMSKY list.

In general, any time you send a fancy formatted message, make sure that
the recipient(s) has a mail program that can display such messages.  At
this time, most Internet mail programs, especially the international
programs, do not support anything other than PLAIN TEXT in messages,
although this will change over time (three (3) years).

When one configures their e-mail client or browser to send HTML code, the
message is no longer conforming to the standard/international e-mail
protocols. This immediately reduces the number of places that will accept
your message (e.g. gateways, Newsgroups and BBS) and people who will read
and reply to their message.

Many people will usually delete it before attempting to wade through the
visible codes.

E-mail is still a TEXT based medium/format.

HTML formatted messages takes up unnecessary archive disk space and in
most all cases can not be read by FTP, Gopher and Lynx readers.

The CHOMSKY list is communicating on an international basis, please set
your e-mail programs or browser to standard ASCII.  This can be found
under the options menu in both Netscape and Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me privately.
