Dear Debu, That was a great milestone! It also reminds many of us of our younger days. Thanks to you for the beginning and thanks to those who carry the torch forward - Santanu.

I'm posting below the original message. Back then some people were on BitNet, which doesn't exist anymore. We could send to bitnet addresses by using a gateway. Also, the via address % concept is no longer allowed (mostly for security reason). - DM -------------------------------- From [email protected] Thu Nov 15 15:52:41 1990 Date: Thu, 15 Nov 90 15:44:35 -0600 From: [email protected] (Deep Medhi) To: [email protected] Subject: luitporia :: a mailing list Status: RO November 15, 1990 Hi everyone, Welcome to a new mailing list: luitporia ! This mailing list is intended for people directly/indirectly/some way related to Assam/North-East In- dia. However, anyone else interested is welcome to join this list. The idea of this list is to provide a global mailing list accessible to EVERYONE from ANYWHERE (almost anywhere) by sending message to just one address and to provide an in- formal forum to discuss/pass news about Assam, Assamese com- munity in North America and Europe (yes at present we have one person getting this mail message across the Atlantic in UK, see list below) and the like. In future, I hope I'll (we'll) find out about someone directly in India who I can add to the list (At present, there are several sites in In- dia like TIFR, NCST, IITs which can be accessed by e-mail from this side of the world). I have been meaning to set up such a mailing list for quite sometime. Now that I have my own workstation "aazoli" (couldn't think of a better name!) and that there are a fair number (22 as of now) of people with e-mail access, I decid- ed it's time to do so. The Internet e-mail address for this mailing list is: [email protected] and should work from everywhere. People who are on BITNET will hopefully figure it out how to send mail to this list (using jnet or some other interface). The initial list has been set up with the names of the people with whom I have been communicating (ir)regularly by e-mail and the names provided to me by Jugal Kalita of Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Thanks, Jugal). I like to apo- logize to you for adding your name to the list without ob- taining your permission. (Anyone who would NOT like to be on this mailing list should send me a message so that I can delete his/her name). If you know of anyone else who might be interested in being added to this mailing list, please let him/her contact me at my address given below. I would appreciate if you could acknowledge receipt of this mail by sending me a message at my e-mail address list- ed below (Please send me correction on name/e-mail address). Finally, please excuse me if you got multiple copies of this message; bear with me as I set up this initial list. Thank you.
