DevInfo Listserv - how to sign up

This listserv has both the traditional email listserv interface and a very good web interface.

* Instructions for using the list with the web interface. *

From the web interface you can perform any listserv function, including signing up for the list, sending a message to the list and reviewing past postings. You can find the web interface at http://listserv.aed.org/archives/devinfo.html. In order to use the web version, you must first register a password as per the instructions on the web site by clicking on Post to the list and then clicking on get a new LISTSERV password first and following the instructions from there.

* Instructions for using the list with the email interface. *

To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, send mail to devinfo@listserv.aed.org. This is called "sending mail to the list," because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address (devinfo@listserv.aed.org) is also called the "list address." You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed.

All commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV address," listserv@listserv.aed.org .

You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF DEVINFO" command
to listserv@listserv.aed.org.

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX DEVINFO" command to listserv@listserv.aed.org. You can then order these files with a "GET DEVINFO LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search facilities, send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter.

This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the digested version of the postings, issue a SET DEVINFO DIGEST command.
