I believe you can send the following command
to LISTSERV at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU

    SET EUPHORIA NOACK NOREPRO

It's described in the message you received from
the list server when you subscribed.

I'm quite happy with this mailing list. A newsgroup would
be a very interesting idea as well, but I'm not sure how
practical it would be to have two separate forums for discussing
Euphoria. I suppose at some point we might outgrow our
welcome at Miami University. I hope we aren't bringing
their IBM mainframe to it's knees by making it send out
1000 to 2000 e-mail messages per day. John Kinne hasn't
screamed yet so I guess we're ok for a while.


This is a good time to mention some other useful
commands in case people have forgotten. This is a repeat
of my message from a month or so ago.
--------------------------------------------------------

1. Posting a message to the list:

Send an e-mail message to:
        EUPHORIA at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU

Your message will automatically be broadcast to
all members of the list (including yourself).
The subject and body of your message can be whatever
you like (as long as it has something to do with Euphoria!).
There are currently around 130 people on the list.

Send to the EUPHORIA user id only when you want to broadcast
a new message. All other commands (described below) must be sent
to the LISTSERV user id.


2. Getting off the list

Send an e-mail message to:
        LISTSERV at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU
The subject of your message doesn't matter, but the
body of your message must be:
        SIGNOFF EUPHORIA


3. Getting on the list (again)

Send an e-mail message to:
        LISTSERV at MIAMI.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU
The subject of your message doesn't matter, but the
body of your message must be:
        SUBSCRIBE EUPHORIA John Smith
Replace "John Smith" by your name. (Your e-mail address
will be picked up automatically.)


4. Getting archived messages.

You can retrieve all the messages that were posted
during a given month by sending an e-mail message
to:
        LISTSERV at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU
with any subject, but the body should be something like:
        GET EUPHORIA LOG9612

where LOG9612 would be the log for December 1996.
The first log was for June 1996 (LOG9606).


5. Digests

I haven't actually tried this on the EUPHORIA list, but it
has worked for me on a couple of other similar
lists that I've been on. Send a message to:
         LISTSERV at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU
with the message body:
         SET EUPHORIA DIGESTS
This should cause you to receive only a single message
at the end of the day containing all the messages
posted for that day. This is for people who want
to reduce the clutter in their inbox that may result
when several messages arrive each day. The disadvantage
is that you won't be able to respond as quickly to
what other people are saying.


There are several other specialized LISTSERV commands.
You can get a description of them by sending a message to:
    LISTSERV at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU
with the message body:
    INFO REFCARD

This automated mailing list was set up courtesy of
John Kinne of Miami University (located in Ohio -- not Florida!).

If you have difficulties with the list, feel free
to contact me about it.
