PINHOLE DISCUSSION LIST POLICIES AND RULES
==========================================================
PURPOSE OF THE LIST:
The purpose of the pinhole discussion mailing list is the discussion of any and
all aspects of pinhole photography. All messages sent to this list should
relate to pinhole photography.
==========================================================
REPLYING OR POSTING TO THE LIST:
Do NOT post messages in HTML format. All postings to the list should be sent
as "plain text". Some email programs by default send email messages as HTML,
the MS Outlook Express and Netscape's Communicator are often set up to send all
email messages as HTML. If you use one of these programs or any mail program
that sends email as HTML, please change your setting so that your messages will
be sent as "plain text" ONLY. Do not post to the list until you KNOW that you
are posting as "plain text", and NOT "HTML". If you need help in setting your
email program to "plain text", please read the page listed below for help or
contact one of the list administrators at pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???????.

(Scroll down the page for instructions in turning off html for a variety
of browsers.)
Do NOT post attachments. Attachments are not welcome on this list. Attachments
are files that are attached to an email message. They are large. They usually
can only be accessed with a specific program. They can unintentionally carry
viruses. A significant portion of the list is unable to use attachments.
Please do not send attachments to the list. All email to the list should be
sent as plain text. This is the one and only standard used by all computers and
all email programs.
When you "reply" (using your email program's reply feature) to messages you
receive from the list, your reply will automatically be directed back to the
mailing list and NOT to the person who sent the message. In order to send a
private message back to someone who sent a message through the list by
replying, you must change the To: address from pinhole-discussion@p at ???????
to the individual's e-mail address. It is ALWAYS a good idea to check who you
are sending an e-mail to before sending it.
To post to this list, send your email to
pinhole-discussion@p at ???????
==========================================================
WARNINGS, VIRUSES, ETC.:
There are always a number of hoaxes traversing the net, where one is urged to
email an urgent warning message concerning some catastrophic new virus,
government policy, etc to everyone you know. These are almost always hoaxes. Do
not send copies of these to the list, even if you are sure it is legitimate.
==========================================================
