BY POPULAR DEMAND After consulting and working with Eric, I've made a digested version of the cypherpunks mailing list available to the public. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- What it is The cypherpunks-digest is a digested version of the mailing list cypherpunks@toad.com. The contents of the mail from cypherpunks-digest is IDENTICAL to the contents on the standard cypherpunks mailing list except that they are delivered in a single message of several postings instead of one at a time; the digested version is presented to allow lurkers and infrequent readers the chance to have fewer messages in their mailbox. In addition, the list is being archived and back issues along with detailed, by-subject indexes are available via a mail-based automated file server. To subscribe to this version of cypherpunks, you need to send a message to majordomo@vorlon.mankato.msus.edu containing the line: subscribe cypherpunks-digest Once you are subscribed to the digested version, you will probably want to unsubscribe to the individual-message list by sending a message to majordomo@toad.com containing the line: unsubscribe cypherpunks In addition, starting today, postings to cypherpunks with be archived, indexed and available through the following methods: A) send the majordomo@vorlon.mankato.msus.edu address the command 'index cypherpunks-digest'. In return, you will get a directory listing of all the available file. There are two important files in addition to the digest archives. CONTENTS This file contains a listing of the subjects within each individual digest. It is sorted by digest number TOPICS This file will list the subjects that are available in the entire archive, and tell you which digests those subjects appeared in. B) Once you have determined which messages you want to get, you send the majordomo address the command 'get cypherpunks-digest filename'. In return, you will get those requested files delivered to you via email. If you are getting multiple files, put each 'get' command on a seperate line. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you have any questions, please let me know. ____ Robert A.
