Mail Archives: opendos/2000/07/08/15:52:18
From the depths of my cluttered mind, somewhere in the obscure past:
If I remember correctly, the way to get off this mailing list was to send
a
message with "unsubsubscribe opendos" in the body of the message.
Of course that was some time ago when there were 'nine' lists and you
had to subscribe and unsubscribe for each of the lists seperately.
There was also a format to tell the server to give information on all of
the
lists available.
I assume you can still go to delorie.com and find that info in the
archives,
which I haven't visited in too long a time.
Hope this helps those of you who have small mailboxes and don't have time
to transfer e-mail to your local hard disk and/or don't have time to read
all
of the jillion messages we generate here. Actually, I think we have had
more traffic in the last week than we used to have in a month. However,
If noone asks for help, and noone offers any, we will never have much
traffic and many people will get disgusted and think DOS is dinosaur,
lost in time and they will go on to ngu-linux or fall back to (expletive
deleted)
gates-windows. When all the knowledge is owned by a few, the many are
deprived and wander aimlessly in search of who knows what.
PEACE!
