I just found out that when folks subscribe to the digest version of this
list, they have not been getting the info file that the real time list gets.
I just fixed that, so now folks who subscribe to mgs-digest will get the
following:
This is the info message for the mgs-digest@autox.team.net list. The list
is intended as a forum for email discussion by those interested in MG
automobiles. The digest is the same material as the real-time MGs list,
just presented in a differnet format.
Send your mail for the entire list to
mgs@autox.team.net
To unsubscribe from mgs, send the following in the body (not
the subject line) of an email message to "majordomo@autox.team.net":
unsubscribe mgs-digest
This will unsubscribe the account from which you send the message.
If you are subscribed with some other address, you'll have to send
a command of the following form instead:
unsubscribe mgs-digest other-address@your_site.your_net
When you send some other request which majordomo doesn't understand to
the majordomo@autox.team.net address, it may take days, maybe even a week
before a human gets around to reading it and actually acting upon it.
A web based majordomo interface is currently being evaluated, try out

Some things to note:
--------------------
Like the other lists served from autox.team.net, this one, in both regular
and digest form, continue to exist through the volunteer efforts of the
list manager, Mark J. Bradakis, mjb@autox.team.net. The list manager retains
the right to make any and all changes to list content, membership and policies,
including dissolving the list, at any time as he sees fit.
The postings to this list are intended only for those on this list. Any
reproduction by any means without the express consent of the author is not
only rude and stupid, but prohibited.
Mail for the list gets sent to hundreds of people, traveling through many
hundreds, if not a thousand or more, computers. This may take days to
actually occur, as some sites still use once a day polling to transmit mail.
Given the current state of technology it is not improbable that one of those
links will exhibit some sort of problem. When you post a message, you may get
back error messages. This DOES NOT mean you need to resend it. What it does
mean is that everybody got it except for maybe one or two folks. Don't repost
things unless you are absolutely, positively sure it did not reach anyone on
the list.
Also remember that not everyone has the latest and greatest technology at
their fingertips. Keep your text limited to lines less than 80 characters
long. Turn off HTML formatting if you send mail out with a web-based mailer.
Turn off any of those Microsoft attachemnts as well, if you are using any
Microsoft products to send your mail. Folks with PCs may have trouble with
this, learn to drive your mailer or go away.
Try to keep the size of your submissions under control. Post writeups
of events you attend, but don't get too long winded. Feel free to ask about
technical issues, parts and cars, either wanted or for sale. Do NOT think
that everybody on the list wants to have some nice big picture dumped in their
mailbox. If you want to send out pictures, programs or anything more than
a few paragraphs long, send a short note to the list explaining what you have,
what boxes it will run on, and how folks can get it if they wish.
