NEWS: Monthly Reminder (November 2011)
= ACCMAIL Monthly Reminder === Posted 01 Nov 2011 This message tells you how to use accmail`AT`listserv.aol.com the mailing list discussing 'Accessing the Internet via Email'. 1. Purpose 2. Conventions 3. The ACCMAIL FAQ: a guide to offline internet access 4. Posting to ACCMAIL: language 5. Posting to ACCMAIL: subject lines 6. Posting to ACCMAIL: off-topic 7. Posting to ACCMAIL: netiquette 8. Receiving ACCMAIL: digest and single postings 9. ACCMAIL topics 10. ACCMAIL archives and search == 1. PURPOSE This list exists as a forum for communicating news, comments and questions about email-only methods of accessing the Internet. This is the place to find out about new versions, ask questions about the current version, make suggestions for additions/deletions, etc. ACCMAIL is a moderated list, which means that all postings will be sent to a human for review before being posted to the list. == 2. CONVENTIONS In this file, we have replaced the normal email @ character with the string `AT`. To use any email address, simply replace `AT` with @ to form a proper email address. == 3. THE ACCMAIL FAQ: A GUIDE TO OFFLINE INTERNET ACCESS In August 2003, after many years dedicated service to the ACCMAIL community, Mr Gerald Boyd retired as maintainer of the ACCMAIL FAQ, and unfortunately died in May the following year. The most recent version (10.2) of the FAQ was published in April 2002, and is now *very* out of date. == 4. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: LANGUAGE The language of the list is international English. Don't worry if you think your English is not very good -- and don't apologise -- MOST subscribers use English as a foreign or second language. == 5. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: SUBJECT LINES Mail should have a meaningful subject heading which reflects the content of the message -- it helps others to find messages of interest (and is necessary if you receive a lot of messages per day), and it helps to follow a thread on a particular topic. == 6. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: OFF-TOPIC Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list does NOT deal with topics like: - General use of your computer. - Where do I get this or that software -- instead ask how to retrieve it via email. - Where do I find information on ??? -- instead ask how do I find information concerning ??? via email. - Windows problems -- instead ask where do I find information regarding a problem (email address, mailing list, web page, etc.) == 7. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: NETIQUETTE * DON'T include the entire contents of a previous posting in your reply. * DO cut mercilessly. Leave just enough to indicate what you're responding to. NEVER include mail headers except maybe the 'From:' line. If you can't figure out how to delete lines in your mailer software, paraphrase or type the quoted text. * DON'T SEND A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS. CAPITALIZED MESSAGES ARE HARDER TO READ THAN LOWER CASE OR MIXED CASE. * DO use normal capitalization. Separate your paragraphs with blank lines. Make your message inviting to your potential readers. * DON'T send messages with HTML coding or MIME extensions. * DO learn how to change your email program so that it sends only plain text to the list. * Remember that people with whom you communicate are located across the world. If you send a message to which you want an immediate response, the person receiving it might be at home asleep when it arrives. Give them a chance to wake up, come to work, and login before assuming the mail didn't arrive or that they don't care. * In general, most people who use the Internet don't have time to answer general questions about the Internet and its workings. Don't send unsolicited mail asking for information to people whose names you might have seen on mailing lists. * ACCMail messages may be archived on websites that are vulnerable to spambots and other email harvesters. The AOL listserv archive is protected, but we do not know where else the messages might appear. When posting or replying to the list, we strongly advise you to munge all email addresses you mention in the text of your message, especially if they are not yours. For example, instead of typing an email address as 'u...@domain.com', type it like one of the following: user#domain.com user()domain.com user AT domain DOT com Spambots will not see an email address, but human readers will know what you mean. Don't munge email addresses

www4mail at szs.net will close at the end of July, and open again in August
Hello accmailers ... Last month we told you about our interim solution to the problem of continued abuse of our www4mail server. We decided we had to deny access to residents of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. We followed that by forbidding requests for documents in the .ru and .ua top level domains. We acknowledged that this decision was unfair -- but it has stopped *all* the abuse. Unfortunately, the deluge of spam and attempts to break into our server (up to 10,000 per day) has not stopped. In fact it seems to have increased. We cannot carry on like this. So this is what is going to happen ... * We are going to take down the existing www4mail server within the next week. * We will replace it with a new installation as soon as we can, hopefully by mid-August. * Access to the new www4mail server will be separated from the membership of this list. We will be asking users to apply personally to be placed on the Access Control List. * Members of this list who have not abused our www4mail will all be welcome. We haven't worked out all the details yet, and we are willing to consider any suggestions from list members about how we should handle this. ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address lists...@listserv.aol.com with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

Changes to the www4mail at szs.net Access Control List
Hello accmailers ... Here is some good news and some bad news. 1. Good news for everybody first! Despite persistent abuse of this service, szs.net wishes to keep www4mail available to as many genuine users as possible. We have been tempted to close it, but have decided not to. 2. Bad news for a few! www4mail at szs.net is maintained by one person (me) who has very little time, and a rather uncertain financial future. I don't have the time or resources to combat abusers in a sophisticated way -- so the action I have decided to take is direct. The number of abusers is relatively small, but their actions are becoming increasingly unpleasant -- including attempts to subvert our www4mail system, and even to hack into it. Like the vast amount of spam we receive, 95% of the abusive behaviour comes from one geographical area, and our list of banned email addresses is dominated by the same two countries. So -- with immediate effect, www4mail at szs.net is no longer available to residents of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Of course, it is not fair. But the alternative is to close the service to everybody. We hope that this drastic action will end our problems, and we will review the situation after four weeks. ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address lists...@listserv.aol.com with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

POSTING TO ACCMAIL: OFF-TOPIC Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list does NOT deal with topics like: - General use of your computer. - Where do I get this or that software -- instead ask how to retrieve it via email. - Where do I find information on ??? -- instead ask how do I find information concerning ??? via email. - Windows 95/98/NT/XP problems -- instead ask where do I find information regarding a problem (email address, mailing list, web page, etc.) == 8. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: NETIQUETTE * DON'T include the entire contents of a previous posting in your reply. * DO cut mercilessly. Leave just enough to indicate what you're responding to. NEVER include mail headers except maybe the 'From:' line. If you can't figure out how to delete lines in your mailer software, paraphrase or type the quoted text. * DON'T SEND A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS. CAPITALIZED MESSAGES ARE HARDER TO READ THAN LOWER CASE OR MIXED CASE. * DO use normal capitalization. Separate your paragraphs with blank lines. Make your message inviting to your potential readers. * DON'T send messages with HTML coding or MIME extensions. * DO learn how to change your email program so that it sends only plain text to the list. * Remember that people with whom you communicate are located across the world. If you send a message to which you want an immediate response, the person receiving it might be at home asleep when it arrives.

But www4mail is a very large and complex package, with no documentation. We can't find where to do the edits. To save time, and get www4mail working again as soon as possible, we are going to install it on a new machine. Hopefully, it will be fixed by Wednesday. There is a precedent for this.

Any file which returns the text word in content-type is treated as an ascii file. I noticed the same problem by any type of e-mail server (old gopher, agora etc.) Thanks Ramiro -- great detection work! The content-type should be application/x-rar-compressed Other sites serving .rar files get it right, and there is no problem. I don't know what content-type this file returns, so I can't say how hard a patch could be. May be an impossible change in many files or a simple change in a regular expression. I don't think there is anything else to be done. We can't anticipate errors in the server headers. Perhaps not *very* difficult to modify the www4mail code to intercept and act on probable mismatches between the content-type header and the actual file received -- but nobody at szs.net has the time to do it. Testing would take longer than writing the patch. Perhaps we should just warn users that if the remote servers are not configured correctly, the result returned by www4mail is unpredictable.

= ACCMAIL Monthly Reminder === Posted 01 Aug 2008 This message tells you how to use accmail`AT`listserv.aol.com the mailing list discussing 'Accessing the Internet via Email'. 1. Purpose 2. Conventions 3. The ACCMAIL FAQ: a guide to offline internet access 4. Usenet 5. Posting to ACCMAIL: language 6. Posting to ACCMAIL: subject lines 7. Posting to ACCMAIL: off-topic 8. Posting to ACCMAIL: netiquette 9. Receiving ACCMAIL: digest and single postings 10. ACCMAIL topics 11. ACCMAIL archives and search 12. www4mail at szs.net == 1. PURPOSE This list exists as a forum for communicating news, comments and questions about email-only methods of accessing the Internet. This is the place to find out about new versions, ask questions about the current version, make suggestions for additions/deletions, etc. ACCMAIL is a moderated list, which means that all postings will be sent to a human for review before being posted to the list. == 2. CONVENTIONS In this file, we have replaced the normal email @ character with the string `AT`. To use any email address, simply replace `AT` with @ to form a proper email address. == 3. THE ACCMAIL FAQ: A GUIDE TO OFFLINE INTERNET ACCESS In August 2003, after many years dedicated service to the ACCMAIL community, Mr Gerald Boyd retired as maintainer of the ACCMAIL FAQ, and unfortunately died in May the following year. The most recent version (10.2) of the FAQ was published in April 2002, and is now *very* out of date. A new version is being prepared. == 4. USENET To learn about Usenet, Usenet access and newsgroups, Uzi Paz provides a valuable file. Send a message to: agora`AT`dna.affrc.go.jp and in the body of the message enter ONE of the following: send http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Lab/1131/ua.txt send http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Lab/1131/ua.zip == 5. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: LANGUAGE The language of the list is international English. Don't worry if you think your English is not very good -- and don't apologise -- MOST subscribers use English as a foreign or second language. == 6. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: SUBJECT LINES Mail should have a meaningful subject heading which reflects the content of the message -- it helps others to find messages of interest (and is necessary if you receive a lot of messages per day), and it helps to follow a thread on a particular topic. == 7. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: OFF-TOPIC Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list does NOT deal with topics like: - General use of your computer. - Where do I get this or that software -- instead ask how to retrieve it via email. - Where do I find information on ??? -- instead ask how do I find information concerning ??? via email. - Windows 95/98/NT/XP problems -- instead ask where do I find information regarding a problem (email address, mailing list, web page, etc.) == 8. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: NETIQUETTE * DON'T include the entire contents of a previous posting in your reply. * DO cut mercilessly. Leave just enough to indicate what you're responding to. NEVER include mail headers except maybe the 'From:' line. If you can't figure out how to delete lines in your mailer software, paraphrase or type the quoted text. * DON'T SEND A MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS. CAPITALIZED MESSAGES ARE HARDER TO READ THAN LOWER CASE OR MIXED CASE. * DO use normal capitalization. Separate your paragraphs with blank lines. Make your message inviting to your potential readers. * DON'T send messages with HTML coding or MIME extensions. * DO learn how to change your email program so that it sends only plain text to the list. * Remember that people with whom you communicate are located across the world. If you send a message to which you want an immediate response, the person receiving it might be at home asleep when it arrives. Give them a chance to wake up, come to work, and login before assuming the mail didn't arrive or that they don't care. * In general, most people who use the Internet don't have time to answer general questions about the Internet and its workings. Don't send unsolicited mail asking for information to people whose names you might have seen on mailing lists. * ACCMail messages may be archived on websites that are vulnerable to spambots and other email harvesters.

www4mail`at`szs.net -- zero tolerance policy reminder
Hello accmailers ... This is a reminder to new users of www4mail`at`szs.net. Our attitude to downloads of porn, files from illegal sites (eg: cracks, wares), and other violations of our Terms of Service is Zero Tolerance. That means if you violate our Terms of Service, you will be PERMANENTLY banned from using www4mail`at`szs.net. Even if you only do it once, and even if you fail, you will be banned. Banning is silent. We do not inform you that you have been banned -- we just do it. There is NO appeal, and NO discussion. We make sure that email from banned addresses is discarded, so we never see it, and you will never get a reply. Our Zero Tolerance policy is the reason this service still exists, when so many other similar services have been destroyed by abuse in the past. ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

Maybe there's an angle I'm not aware of. I think many, perhaps most, ACCMAIL users live or work in countries where access to the WWW exists in principle -- but in practice it is too slow or expensive to be of any use. I can cite myself as an example. Most of the time I live in an EU country where I have an excellent broadband service. Occasionally I return to the main university of a country where I used to live. It is in Southern Africa, and is impoverished. The telecom infrastucture is in a poor state. A web page might take 30 mins to download. So I use ACCMAIL methods.

www4mail at szs.net will not respond to Yahoo addresses
Hello accmailers ... Yahoo has been causing us problems for many months. Mail from www4mail at szs.net to Yahoo addresses is often rejected at the SMTP stage and bounced back to us, resulting in an unnecessary load on our server. Yahoo users sometimes submit repeated requests for large binary files, which are then all refused by Yahoo. We want this to stop. Yahoo is web-based. Nobody who uses ACCMAIL methods is obliged to use Yahoo. So we have decided that we will no longer accept requests from Yahoo email addresses. Starting now, www4mail at szs.net will not respond to requests from Yahoo email addresses. There will be no answer at all. We have also decided, in principle, that we should not accept requests from any of the free web-based email services, especially as they are the main source of requests for web sites which contravene our usage policy. Right now, only Yahoo is excluded. The others will follow when we have worked out the best way to do it. However, we agree that the ACCMAIL community does have a legitimate need for a reliable free web-based email service. So we intend to make an exception for gmail.com and googlemail.com addresses, which have never caused us any problems. ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

www4mail at szs.net Report
Hello accmailers ... Our www4mail server at szs.net has been running for about 15 months now. On the whole, there have been very few problems. Thanks to the help we have received from Perl coders on this list, we think it is now one of the most reliable ACCMAIL resources. This is a good opportunity to remind our users -- especially new users -- of our attitude to pornography and cracks/wares sites. It's a Zero Tolerance policy! That means if you attempt to access porn or illegal sites, you will be permanently banned from using www4mail at szs.net -- even if you only do it once, and even if you fail, you will be banned. Also our policy is retrospective -- if we discover an attempt a year ago, we will ban you now. Banning is silent. We do not inform you that you have been banned -- we just do it. There is NO appeal, and NO discussion. We make sure that email from banned addresses is discarded, so we never see it. Furthermore, we ensure that banned addresses have no privacy. We do not keep access logs for very long, but we filter banned addresses into a permanent log, so we have a record of all attempts to abuse this service. At one time, we were tempted to ban all users from Russia and Ukraine (most offenders are from those two countries), but now we are pleased we did not take this drastic step. In practice, abusers are a small minority -- less than 40, far fewer than we had been warned. Nevertheless, our Zero Tolerance policy is the reason this service still exists. Nearly everybody uses it responsibly, and we are especially pleased that it is being used by so many students and staff of universities, hospitals and medical schools, and by ordinary citizens of countries where access to the WWW is problematic. That is what our www4mail is for, and we will keep it going for as long as we can. I think we have made our point! ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

In essence, this makes it virtually imposible to combine the chunks into something useful (too many permutations to try!). I am very grateful to Ramiro Ochoa, who has found a solution to this problem -- three months ago! I had imagined a major programming task, but all that was needed was a simple edit in the Perl code.

On 6 Nov 2007 at 16:40, Ramiro Ochoa wrote: www4mail at wm.ictp.trieste.it is another possibility. The reason of the problem is surely an update in os. For many years, the www4mail server wrote all the chunks in a temporary and read it with a function that as return value has the list of all files in folder. Due to an update in Linux or in its configuration, the list of files is not in creation order anymore. Thanks for this very plausible suggestion. We think the reason may well be related to the operating system, which is Debian Etch. However, there have been no recent updates or upgrades -- until today (we just updated for the first time since May 2007).

I'm interested in knowing what the status of the update project is and how I might be able to help. How do I find out and who do I contact? The status of the FAQ is 'on hold', but it does not have to be like that. The main problem is not the updating of the FAQ itself -- it is how we would replace the old FAQ with the new FAQ on rtfm.mit.edu Now I will repeat a post to ACCMAIL, 15 October 2006 ... Here is a reminder of the problem of updating the ACCMAIL FAQ. It is published initially on news.answers and other newsgroups, then propagated to web sites such as http://www.faqs.org/faqs/internet-services/access-via-email/ The published FAQ is years out of date, but unfortunately I don't have any way of updating it, because Gerry Boyd never went through the process of transferring posting described in http://www.faqs.org/faqs/news-answers/postapproval-guidelines/ We should have done this in 2002, but now it is too late. However, I think it is worth trying to contact the people who admin the usenet groups to find out if there is some way to circumvent the normal procedures. ... and from a post to the faq-maintainers list, 25 October 2006 ... The published FAQ is years out of date, but unfortunately we don't have any way of updating it, because we never went through the process of transferring posting described in http://www.faqs.org/faqs/news-answers/postapproval-guidelines/ Gerry Boyd is no longer with us, so we cannot initiate a normal transfer. Email to the *.answers moderation team and to faq-admin`at`faqs.org always bounces back. There seems to be no way of getting through to them. ... and from a reply to that post ... It is important to understand that www.faqs.org is an independent effort by someone who believed that creating a web version of the FAQs would be beneficial. Indeed it was. However it is presently not updating itself as it had been. The last update was sometime in 2004 I believe. In fact, everything at www.faqs.org is out of date and is no longer a reliable resource for Usenet Faqs. One task at present is getting the word out on that. And similar to your situation, that domain appears to be running abandoned. Efforts by several of us to contact the owner have been unsuccessful. That same person was responsible for this list's predecessor but that ended about the same time his web site started to cease updating. The authoritative version of all FAQs are posted at rtfm.mit.edu in plain text and can be accessed using standard FTP commands. ... and from discussion following that post ... Is the FAQ archived at rtfm.mit.edu? Yes, under ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/internet-services/ Is it on the automated FAQ server? Yes. That is probably how most people get it. There are hundreds of web pages, old and new, giving instructions on how to retrieve the FAQ from rtfm.mit.edu, eg: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Msg: send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email Although the FAQ was last edited in April 2004, it was auto-posted weekly until May 29 2006 to alt.internet.services, alt.online-service, alt.bbs.internet, alt.answers, comp.mail.misc, comp.answers, news.newusers.questions, news.answers Posting history at http://groups.google.com/groups/profile?enc_user=G7PGqRDjLsMkrJWOgE38Be_uyRWR (try http://tinyurl.com/2sd9wu if that URL breaks on the line). Summarising ... The current old FAQ is now effectively useless. Most people find the FAQ through searches or links, which lead them either to rtfm.mit.edu, usenet archives, or web pages which derive data from those sources. The defunct faqs.org is also an important information source. Nobody seems to know how to transfer FAQ posting from a maintainer who has died. The faq-maintainers list is not very active (only 12 posts this year). But I will try them again. The old FAQ should be replaced. Meanwhile the ACCMAIL archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/accmail@listserv.aol.com/ and http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.emailonly/ are significant alternative referral sources. ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

Re: renaming attachments
Hello accmailers ... Eliam Marrero complained that his email host blocks attachments with filetype .exe, and also blocks filetypes of the form .exe.001. He asked if there could be a www4mail command to rename attachments to prevent this happening. Unfortunately, the answer is probably 'no'. The authors of www4mail are not developing it or maintaining it. But if there are any experienced Perl programmers reading this, please consider if you have time to work on the www4mail source code -- it's released under the GNU General Public License ( http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html ), and can be downloaded from http://users.ictp.it/~onime/www4mail/ However, Eliam's problem is common. Many email hosts reject attachments with filetype .exe Here are some suggestions ... 1. Try to find an alternative download which offers the same file compressed to 'zip', 'gz', or some other compression format. 2. If you know the size of the file, use a www4mail server with command GETSIZE to ensure that the exe file is split. For example, if the file size is 100 Mb, use command GETSIZE 9. This won't help Eliam (the parts will have the form .exe.NNN), but it might help others. 3. Use a www4mail server with command XUUENCODE (there will be no attachments). 4. If you have occasional access to the WWW (or if you have a friend who can do it for you), sign up for a Gmail (Googlemail) account at http://mail.google.com/mail/ Gmail gives you a 2.6 Gb POP box and authenticated SMTP -- so after the account has been set up, you never have to use the webmail interface. Although Gmail rejects .exe attachments, it is ACCMAIL-friendly in every other way (and it accepts attachments of type .exe.NNN). ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

www4mail cannot deliver to mostovik.ru
Hello accmailers ... Here is another delivery problem (to another host in Russia) which I have not seen before. Host mostovik.ru refuses attachments that have a double extension, for example 'default.stm.html', which www4mail returns for http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/news/default.stm The workaround in that case would be to request the shorter URL http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/news/ However, large documents and binary files are split into numbered parts of the type 'filename.html.001', etc. I cannot think of a www4mail workaround for that. ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

Re: DIFFICULTY WITH PDF
On 29 Apr 2007 at 0:36, Ricky Lomey wrote: What format does [EMAIL PROTECTED] retrieve PDF in? If the PDF document is smaller than the www4mail maximum file size, the attachment will be an unmodified PDF. If it is larger than the maximum size, www4mail splits the PDF file into two or more numbered parts. Those parts must be joined again to make the original PDF document. To obtain http://www.iab.org.il/PNLV3.pdf via www4mail, just submit the URL http://www.iab.org.il/PNLV3.pdf to the www4mail server in the body of your request email. The www4mail server will return the document in 4 parts: PNLV3.pdf.001, PNLV3.pdf.002, PNLV3.pdf.003 and PNLV3.pdf.004. Save those parts to a folder where you can easily find them again. Now copy the following 6 lines to a text file named 'join.bat' ... copy /b ^ PNLV3.pdf.001 + ^ PNLV3.pdf.002 + ^ PNLV3.pdf.003 + ^ PNLV3.pdf.004 ^ PNLV3.pdf Now run join.bat. It will reconstruct PNLV3.pdf from the 4 parts. I don't know how easy it is for somebody with your visual impairment to carry out those steps.

Re: Moving towards multi-lingualism
Hello accmailers ... Our thanks to Marc Loehrwald (de) and 'fmond' (es) for the translations below. I have included them in the ACCMAIL info file, and also the web page http://emailonly.szs.net/ . I can also use them in my replies to off-list help requests. Translations into Russian, French and Portuguese would also be very helpful, if there is anyone who has the time to do them. Deutsch ACCMAIL ist eine Mailingliste, die als Diskussionsforum für den Internetzugriff per Email dient. Hier werden Neuigkeiten und Kommentare ausgetauscht und es können Fragen für die Anwendung der Methoden gestellt werden um per Email auf das WWW, FTP (Zugriff auf und Download von Dateien) und Newsgroups zuzugreifen. Um Mitglied der Mailingliste zu werden reicht eine einfache Email an [EMAIL PROTECTED], die die Worte 'SUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL' (ohne Anführungszeichen) enthält. Der Listserver schickt eine Email zurück, um die Emailadresse zu bestätigen. Auf diese Email muss man antworten und in die Email nur das Wort 'ok' schreiben (wieder ohne Anführungszeichen). Español ACCMAIL es un forum para noticias, comentarios, preguntas y respuestas acerca de los métodos del solo-correo en cuanto a la navegación por la red mundial, para descargar ficheros de los sitios FTP y para intercambiar con otros grupos de usuarios de la red por medio del correo electrónico como única herramienta. Para incorporarse a la lista envíe un correo a: [EMAIL PROTECTED], y en el texto de su mensaje (no en la línea del asunto), escriba: SUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL El servidor de la lista le enviará una solicitud para su confirmación. Por favor, responda a esta solicitud escribiendo 'ok' (sin las tildes) en el texto de su mensaje. ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

Moving towards multi-lingualism
Hello accmailers ... Every day I get 'help' requests from people who clearly want to use emailonly methods, but cannot understand the english language instructions. I think it would be good to get the essential core information translated into other languages, and included in listserv documents. So to start, can we have translations, into *any* language, of the text below -- the first major problem for people who do not read english? ACCMAIL is a forum for news, comments, questions and answers on email-only methods: how to browse the World-Wide Web, retrieve files from FTP sites, read and post to Usenet newsgroups -- using email as your only tool. To join the list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and, in the body of your message (not the subject line), write: SUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL The listserver will then send you a confirmation request. Please reply to that email, and type 'ok' (without the quotes) as the text of your message. Thanks in advance ... ::: SZS ::: -- To contribute to the discussion, email to accmail@listserv.aol.com To unsubscribe, email to the *admin* address [EMAIL PROTECTED] with UNSUBSCRIBE ACCMAIL as the message body.

NEWS: Monthly Reminder (April 2007)
= ACCMAIL Monthly Reminder === Posted 01 Apr 2007 This message tells you how to use accmail`AT`listserv.aol.com the mailing list discussing 'Accessing the Internet via Email'. 1. Purpose 2. Conventions 3. The ACCMAIL FAQ: a guide to offline internet access 4. Usenet 5. Posting to ACCMAIL: language 6. Posting to ACCMAIL: subject lines 7. Posting to ACCMAIL: off-topic 8. Posting to ACCMAIL: netiquette 9. Receiving ACCMAIL: digest and single postings 10. ACCMAIL topics 11. ACCMAIL archives and search 12. Other mailing lists 13. www4mail at szs.net == 1. PURPOSE This list exists as a forum for communicating news, comments and questions about email-only methods of accessing the Internet. This is the place to find out about new versions, ask questions about the current version, make suggestions for additions/deletions, etc. ACCMAIL is a moderated list, which means that all postings will be sent to a human for review before being posted to the list. == 2. CONVENTIONS In this file, we have replaced the normal email @ character with the string `AT`. To use any email address, simply replace `AT` with @ to form a proper email address. == 3. THE ACCMAIL FAQ: A GUIDE TO OFFLINE INTERNET ACCESS In August 2003, after many years dedicated service to the ACCMAIL community, Mr Gerald Boyd retired as maintainer of the ACCMAIL FAQ, and unfortunately died in May the following year. The most recent version (10.2) of the FAQ was published in April 2002, and is now *very* out of date. A new version is being prepared. How to get the latest (out of date) published versions of the ACCMAIL FAQ a) Autoresponder (English version only): Send an email to mail-server`AT`rtfm.mit.edu with send usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email as the message body b) Anonymous FTP (English version only): Host: rtfm.mit.edu get pub/usenet/news.answers/internet-services/access-via-email c) WWW (English version only): http://www.faqs.org/faqs/internet-services/access-via-email/ d) Autoresponder (Russian translation only): Send an email to accmailfaqrus`AT`tg.org.ua e) Autoresponder (original English and translations): Send a blank email to accmail.faq`AT`szs.net with the two-character code of the desired language as the subject. Example for the Spanish version ... Subject: es Translations currently available are German: de English: en Esperanto: eo Spanish: es Hungarian: hu Indonesian: id Russian: ru For this autoresponder * The 'subject' header must contain ONLY the two-character code. * The 'cc' header must not be used. * The email body should preferably be empty, but for those who cannot avoid extra lines added by their email hosts, a very short text message will be accepted. Please use plain text with no signature or other characters added by yourself. == 4. USENET To learn about Usenet, Usenet access and newsgroups, Uzi Paz provides a valuable file. Send a message to: agora`AT`dna.affrc.go.jp and in the body of the message enter ONE of the following: send http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Lab/1131/ua.txt send http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Lab/1131/ua.zip == 5. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: LANGUAGE The language of the list is international English. Don't worry if you think your English is not very good -- and don't apologise -- MOST subscribers use English as a foreign or second language. == 6. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: SUBJECT LINES Mail should have a meaningful subject heading which reflects the content of the message -- it helps others to find messages of interest (and is necessary if you receive a lot of messages per day), and it helps to follow a thread on a particular topic. == 7. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: OFF-TOPIC Make sure your post isn't off-topic. In particular, this mailing list does NOT deal with topics like: - General use of your computer. - Where do I get this or that software -- instead ask how to retrieve it via email. - Where do I find information on ??? -- instead ask how do I find information concerning ??? via email. - Windows 95/98/NT/XP problems -- instead ask where do I find information regarding a problem (email address, mailing list, web page, etc.) == 8. POSTING TO ACCMAIL: NETIQUETTE * DON'T include the entire contents of a previous posting in your reply. * DO cut
