Subject: new digest mailing lists

I have made available two djgpp digest mailing lists through my
listserver at delorie.com:

djgpp-digest-daily

  Daily digest of the djgpp AT delorie DOT com mailing list.  Digests are in
  RFC934 format.  Mail sent to this address gets routed to the listserv,
  but subscribing to this list causes a daily summary of the djgpp list
  to be sent to you at about midnight EST.  Note that if you switch from
  weekly to daily, you should hold off unsubscribing from the weekly
  list until you get that week's digest, to avoid missing articles.
  
  Mail from this list is constant at 1 digest per day, with around 25
  messages per digest.

djgpp-digest-weekly

  Weekly digest of the djgpp AT delorie DOT com mailing list.  Digests are in
  RFC934 format.  Mail sent to this address gets routed to the listserv,
  but subscribing to this list causes a weekly summary of the djgpp list
  to be sent to you at about midnight EST on Saturday night.
  
  Mail from this list is constant at 1 digest per week, with around 175
  messages per digest.

To subscribe to these, send e-mail to listserv AT delorie DOT com.  I
recommend you do NOT unsubscribe from the djgpp mailing list until
you've satisfied yourself that the digests are working correctly.
They've had little testing.

---- standard listserv help follows

You can subscribe or unsubscribe to any of the various
mailing lists at delorie.com by sending email to
"listserv AT delorie DOT com", like this Unix example:

	$ Mail listserv AT delorie DOT com
	Subject:
	add djgpp
	^D

To get a list of the groups and their purposes, do like this:

	$ Mail listserv AT delorie DOT com
	Subject:
	longindex
	^D

Note that the digest groups are purposefully closed to mailings.  You
may subscribe to them, but you may not send mail to them.

The commands understood by the listserv program may be upper
or lower case, and are:

HELP
	lists this file.  This is also sent whenever a
	message to listserv is received from which no valid
	command could be parsed.

HELP groupname
	lists a brief description of the group requested.

INDEX
	lists all the groups available for subscription.

LONGINDEX
	lists all the groups and their descriptions.

ADD listname	 
DELETE listname	

ADD address listname	 
DELETE address listname	
	adds or deletes the given address to or from the list
	specified.  Mail is sent to the address given to
	confirm the add or delete operation.  If you omit the
	'address' the command will assume the mailbox that is
	in the From: line of the message.  Note that
	SUBSCRIBE is a synonym for ADD; UNSUBSCRIBE for
	DELETE.

A command must be the first word on each line in the message.
Lines which do not start with a command word are ignored.  If
no commands were found in the entire message, this help file
will be returned to the user.  A single message may contain
multiple commands; a separate response will be sent for each.

Please note that is IS possible to add or delete someone
else's subscription to a mailing list.  This facility is
provided so that subscribers may alter their own
subscriptions from a new or different computer account.
There is therefore some potential for abuse; we have chosen
to limit this by mailing a confirmation notification of any
addition or deletion to the address added or deleted
including a copy of the message which requested the
operation.  At least you can find out who's doing it to you.

Examples:

	add djgpp

	add foo AT bar DOT com djgpp-announce
