FutureBASIC Mailing List

What is it?

The FutureBASIC Mailing List is host to a large number of the FutureBASIC programming community. Programmers from all over the world gather here to ask questions, give programming advice, exchange ideas, brainstorm, and help each other in their programming projects and learning exercises. This listserve is one of the greatest FutureBasic programming resources available!

A Mailing List is like a newsgroup, but instead of messages being posted to a central location, they are sent out as email to all subscribers on the list server. There are two "modes" the server uses to send list posts to you...

Normal mode

In this mode, the server will send each message individually. This means that if 15 people post messages to the server today, you will receive 15 individual email messages.

To subscribe, send any message, using the address that you will use to post and receive mail on this list, to:

futurebasic-subscribe@associate.com

To unsubscribe, send any message, using the address you used to subscribe to the list to:

futurebasic-unsubscribe@associate.com

Digest mode

In this mode, the server will collect messages posted to the list during the day and will compile the list into one single email message which is sent to you at the end of the day.

To subscribe, send any message using the address you will use to post and receive mail on this list to:

To unsubscribe, send any message using the address you used to subscribe to the list to:

futurebasic-digest-unsubscribe@associate.com

Getting help

Most emailers allow you to configure them to sort messages based on different criteria. If you are using such an e-mailer, it may be worth your while to subscribe in normal mode and have your emailer application do the filing for you.

To get a list of commands the list server understands send any e-mail to:
