- Title: KORG-i Discussion Group

-
- KORG-i Discussion Group
-
-
- GENERAL
-
- A list server is an automated way of sending email messages to all members of
- a group. There are 2 email addresses which access the server - the first is
- where you send any commands to, the second is where you send your messages
- to. Let's join the group first (i.e. add your name to the list).
-
- FIRST EMAIL ADDRESS
-
- This is where you send COMMANDS to the list server - the 2 commands of most
- importance are SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE. To subscribe to (join) the list
- server, send the following case sensitive message: SUBSCRIBE korg-i to the
- following address: korg-i-request@mail.well.fi
-
- Don't put any subject in the subject line, just the subscribe command as the
- first and only line of the message. You should switch off any signature file
- which gets added to the end of your email messages - this isn't absolutely
- necessary but the list server checks each line of your message and trys to
- execute the commands - the 'subscribe' will be OK but each line of the
- signature will return with an error. This doesn't matter as long as the
- 'subscribe' is successful. You only need to SUBSCRIBE once. The list server
- will read your return email address and add you to the group. It will then
- send a message back to you saying whether you were successful or not. You can
- subscribe from different email addresses if you want, for example some people
- may want to subscribe from home and from work.
-
- If at any time you want to leave the group, just send UNSUBSCRIBE korg-i to
- the above address.
-
- SECOND EMAIL ADDRESS
-
- Once subscribed, you can send messages to everyone in the group by simply
- sending your email to the following address: korg-i@well.fi
-
- The list server will distibute your message to everyone in the group
- including a copy back to you. If you want to reply to a message, you can
- reply directly to the person or to the list server. For greater interest,
- it's better to reply to the list server so anyone else can join in the
- discussion. Note that when you reply, the default return address will be the
- message SENDER'S, not the list server. I click on REPLY then simply change
- the TO address to korg-i@well.fi before I send it - that way everyone sees
- it. Don't reply to the sender and Cc to korg-i as well since the original
- sender will receive two replies - one direct and one via the server.
