Hi Eric, I cannot access e-mail with ML 10.0. I am on the internet but no e-mail. This was sent by Linspire 4.5 on Portable computer. Richard H. Peddie. Not sure what the problem would be. Best bet is to start a new thread and ask the list.

Originally, i tried to put in a line explicitly stating how to unsub, but simpa kept /dev/null-ing it because gettin the commands in a post confused it (i assume). I'll have to figure out how to put it back in. Sooo, sorry, but tonite you will probably get some test posts with this subject again... eric Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This is an automated weekly message mainly intended for people new to Mandrake's Newbie List. This is a good start. You might want to at least define what a Twiki is before mentioning it though. I don't think the term is something that people new to Mandrake and these lists would be sure to know. How about something like: We have set up a set of pages with a lot of information that you will find useful during your continued stay on the list. This is called a Twiki, which is basically a user-supported help page, and can be found here. Our Twiki contains some good help on newbie etiquette and general good manners that can be found here.

On Wednesday 22 October 2003 01:25 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] graced me with: This is an automated weekly message mainly intended for people new to Mandrake's Newbie List. Welcome to Mandrake! I like it as it is, Eric. Nice job on this and the Etiquette TWiki page. If you ever find a need to move onto something new in your career-life, try being a legalese translator. You sure can plainly say what needs to be said. :0) Paul Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Welcome to Newbie
If this one makes it, it means that simpa just doesn't like seeing it's name in print. This is the second version I've seen... coming through fine here. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to do this Eric. I sent about twenty of them! The first one you saw was ultra truncatated (and that was spelled wrong, too). List Ettiquette: We have prepared a page describing common mailing list etiquitte that will make your posts more effective and make fellow list members happier to help. Just a minor point - you have spelled etiquette two different ways above, both wrong! Should be etiquette. Excellent! Thanks for the correction. It should be correct next tuesday when this flys out again. I was so busy figuring out why the list was rejecting (w/o a return bounce, no less) the mail that i completely ignored the my bad typing/spelling. I didn't completely figure it out, but i think it has to do with simpa(sp) being mentioned, or maybe simpa and other parts of the address being mentioned in the same line. Very trippy. eric -- Mandrake HowTo's More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
