END OF COMMANDS
**** Help for Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com:
This help message is being sent to you from the Majordomo mailing list
management system at Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com.
This is version 1.94.4 of Majordomo.
If you're familiar with mail servers, an advanced user's summary of
Majordomo's commands appears at the end of this message.
Majordomo is an automated system which allows users to subscribe and
unsubscribe to mailing lists, and to retrieve files from list archives.
You can interact with the Majordomo software by sending it commands in the
body of mail messages addressed to "Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com".
Please do not put your commands on the subject line; Majordomo does not
process commands in the subject line.
You may put multiple Majordomo commands in the same mail message.
Put each command on a line by itself.
If you use a "signature block" at the end of your mail, Majordomo may
mistakenly believe each line of your message is a command; you will then
receive spurious error messages.  To keep this from happening, either put a
line starting with a hyphen ("-") before your signature, or put a line with
just the word
	end
on it in the same place.  This will stop the Majordomo software from
processing your signature as bad commands.
Here are some of the things you can do using Majordomo:
I.	FINDING OUT WHICH LISTS ARE ON THIS SYSTEM
To get a list of publicly-available mailing lists on this system, put the
following line in the body of your mail message to
Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com:
	lists
Each line will contain the name of a mailing list and a brief description of
the list.
To get more information about a particular list, use the "info" command,
supplying the name of the list.  For example, if the name of the list about
which you wish information is "demo-list", you would put the line
	info demo-list
in the body of the mail message.
II.	SUBSCRIBING TO A LIST
Once you've determined that you wish to subscribe to one or more lists on
this system, you can send commands to Majordomo to have it add you to the
list, so you can begin receiving mailings.
To receive list mail at the address from which you're sending your mail,
simply say "subscribe" followed by the list's name:
	subscribe demo-list
If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address
(a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account,
or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears
in the "From:" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to
the command.  For instance, if you're sending a request from your work
account, but wish to receive "demo-list" mail at your personal account (for
which we will use "jqpublic@my-isp.com" as an example), you'd put the line
	subscribe demo-list jqpublic@my-isp.com
in the mail message body.
Based on configuration decisions made by the list owners, you may be added
to the mailing list automatically.  You may also receive notification that
an authorization key is required for subscription.  Another message will be
sent to the address to be subscribed (which may or may not be the same as
yours) containing the key, and directing the user to send a command found in
that message back to Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com.  (This can be a bit of
extra hassle, but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra email by
someone who forged requests from your address.)  You may also get a message
that your subscription is being forwarded to the list owner for approval;
some lists have waiting lists, or policies about who may subscribe.  If your
request is forwarded for approval, the list owner should contact you soon
after your request.
Upon subscribing, you should receive an introductory message, containing
list policies and features.  Save this message for future reference; it will
also contain exact directions for unsubscribing.  If you lose the intro mail
and would like another copy of the policies, send this message to
Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com:
	intro demo-list
(substituting, of course, the real name of your list for "demo-list").
III.	UNSUBSCRIBING FROM MAILING LISTS
Your original intro message contains the exact command which should be used
to remove your address from the list.  However, in most cases, you may
simply send the command "unsubscribe" followed by the list name:
	unsubscribe demo-list
(This command may fail if your provider has changed the way your address is
shown in your mail.)
To remove an address other than the one from which you're sending the
request, give that address in the command:
	unsubscribe demo-list jqpublic@my-isp.com
In either of these cases, you can tell Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com to remove
the address in question from all lists on this server by using "*"
in place of the list name:
	unsubscribe *
	unsubscribe * jqpublic@my-isp.com
IV.	FINDING THE LISTS TO WHICH AN ADDRESS IS SUBSCRIBED
To find the lists to which your address is subscribed, send this command in
the body of a mail message to Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com:
	which
You can look for other addresses, or parts of an address, by specifying the
text for which Majordomo should search.  For instance, to find which users
at my-isp.com are subscribed to which lists, you might send the command
	which my-isp.com
Note that many list owners completely or fully disable the "which"
command, considering it a privacy violation.
V.	FINDING OUT WHO'S SUBSCRIBED TO A LIST
To get a list of the addresses on a particular list, you may use the "who"
command, followed by the name of the list:
	who demo-list
Note that many list owners allow only a list's subscribers to use the "who"
command, or disable it completely, believing it to be a privacy violation.
VI.	RETRIEVING FILES FROM A LIST'S ARCHIVES
Many list owners keep archives of files associated with a list.  These may
include:
- back issues of the list
- help files, user profiles, and other documents associated with the list
- daily, monthly, or yearly archives for the list
To find out if a list has any files associated with it, use the "index"
command:
	index demo-list
If you see files in which you're interested, you may retrieve them by using
the "get" command and specifying the list name and archive filename.
For instance, to retrieve the files called "profile.form" (presumably a form
to fill out with your profile) and "demo-list.9611" (presumably the messages
posted to the list in November 1996), you would put the lines
	get demo-list profile.form
	get demo-list demo-list.9611
in your mail to Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com.
VII.	GETTING MORE HELP
To contact a human site manager, send mail to
Majordomo-Owner@lists.tislabs.com.
To contact the owner of a specific list, send mail to that list's approval
address, which is formed by adding "-approval" to the user-name portion of
the list's address.  For instance, to contact the list owner for
demo-list@lists.tislabs.com, you would send mail to
demo-list-approval@lists.tislabs.com.
To get another copy of this help message, send mail to
Majordomo@lists.tislabs.com with a line saying
	help
in the message body.
