S-NEWS OBJECTIVES AND APPROPRIATE USE
S-news is the discussion group on the S and S-plus systems for
statistics, graphics, and programming. Appropriate topics must be
related to S/S-plus, including programming and usage questions and
suggestions, problem reports, and announcements of new software
(contributed and commercial), books and articles, and conferences and
educational events. Short job announcements are also acceptable. Long
advertisements and commercial messages that are not specifically relevant
to S/S-plus are not acceptable.
-----------------------------------------------------------
S-NEWS ADDRESSES
Mail for posting to the S-news list should be sent to:
s-news@wubios.wustl.edu
All subscription and unsubscription requests and other list management
commands should be sent to
s-news-request@wubios.wustl.edu
Messages that require human intervention should be sent to
s-news-owner@wubios.wustl.edu
but you should make use of the automatic list processor commands whenever
they cover the situation.
-----------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT LIST MANAGEMENT COMMANDS
All Majordomo list management commands should be sent to
s-news-request@wubios.wustl.edu. The command (or multiple commands)
should be in the body of the message, not in the subject line. If your
mailer puts a signature at the end of the message, put the command
end
after your list commands so the signature is not interpreted as
commands. NEVER send commands to s-news! (NEVER!)
A full list of Majordomo commands can be obtained by sending the command
help
To subscribe to the list, send the command
subscribe s-news
or for the digest version,
subscribe s-news-digest
You will be sent a confirmation message to which you must reply to make
sure that you actually desired to subscribe. This is intended to prevent
forged subscriptions. Note that subscriptions to the immediate-delivery
and digest versions are handled like two separate lists, so if you want to
switch from immediate delivery to digest, you must unsubscribe to s-news
and subscribe to s-news-digest.
If you want to subscribe using a different address than the one you are
sending from, use the command
subscribe s-news myname@my.address
To unsubscribe, send one of the following commands as appropriate:
unsubscribe s-news
unsubscribe s-news-digest
unsubscribe s-news myname@my.address
unsubscribe s-news-digest myname@my.address
Sender: owner-s-news@wubios.wustl.edu
Precedence: bulk
X-loop: s-news
