This mailing list is now running on a different piece of software. You
will notice few changes, if any in your regulat use of the list. If you
have any problems, don't hesitate to contact me.

However, subscription and unsubscription procedures have changed. To
unsubscribe, go to http://kitenet.net/cgi-bin/mailman/roster/sayma and
find your email address. Click on it, and follow the directions.
To subscribe, see http://kitenet.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sayma

Mailing list archives are also available, containing all mail that has
ever been sent to this list. They are available on the web at
http://kitenet.net/auto/pipermail/sayma/

It is of course also possible to subscribe and unsubscribe without using
the web, and the remainder of this mail will contain instructions for
doing so.

Help for Sayma mailing list:

This is email command help for version 1.1 of the "Mailman" list
manager.  The following describes commands you can send to get
information about and control your subscription to Mailman lists at
this site.  A command can be in the subject line or in the body of the
message.

Note that much of the following can also be accomplished via the World
Wide Web, at:

    http://kitenet.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sayma

In particular, you can use the Web site to have your password sent to
your delivery address.

List specific commands (subscribe, who, etc) should be sent to the
*-request address for the particular list, e.g. for the 'mailman'
list, use 'mailman-request at ...'.

About the descriptions - words in "<>"s signify REQUIRED items and
words in "[]" denote OPTIONAL items.  Do not include the "<>"s or
"[]"s when you use the commands.

The following commands are valid:

    subscribe [password] [digest-option] [address=<address>]
        Subscribe to the mailing list.  Your password must be given to
        unsubscribe or change your options.  When you subscribe to the
        list, you'll be reminded of your password periodically.
        'digest-option' may be either: 'nodigest' or 'digest' (no
        quotes!)  If you wish to subscribe an address other than the
        address you send this request from, you may specify
        "address=<email address>" (no brackets around the email
        address, no quotes!)

    unsubscribe <password> [address]
        Unsubscribe from the mailing list.  Your password must match
        the one you gave when you subscribed.  If you are trying to
        unsubscribe from a different address than the one you subscribed
        from, you may specify it in the 'address' field.

            post at a time.

            digest is set)
