Subject: LIST ANNOUNCEMENT - YOU *MUST* READ THIS!
Date: 14 Aug 1996 17:45:42 -0600 (MDT)
Really-From: "Lazlo Nibble" <lazlo@swcp.com>
PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
Because cs.uwp.edu is due to be decommissioned soon, the hats, jarre,
kraftwerk, and yello mailing lists are moving from cs.uwp.edu to xmission.com.
Here is a list of steps being taken to make this move happen.
* All subscribers to the digest versions of the lists have been moved to
the regular interactive versions so that they will see this announcement
as soon as possible.
* New versions of the lists and their digests are now up and running at
xmission.com. SUBSCRIBERS WILL NOT BE AUTOMATICALLY MOVED TO THE NEW
LISTS. YOU MUST RESUBSCRIBE AT THE NEW LOCATION. To do so you will need
to send at least two email messages:
1) Send email to majordomo@cs.uwp.edu with the command
unsubscribe listname
on a line by itself, where "listname" is hats, jarre, kraftwerk, or
yello, as appropriate to the list(s) you're on. If you are on more
than one list, your message should include one unsubscribe command
for each list you're on, with each command on a line by itself. You
should NOT include the "-digest" part of the listname, even if you
were on the digest version of the list before you received this message.
2) Send email to majordomo@xmission.com with the command
subscribe listname
on a line by itself, where listname is hats, hats-digest, jarre,
jarre-digest, kraftwerk, kraftwerk-digest, yello, or yello-digest
as appropriate to the list(s) you want to be on. As with the
unsubscribe commands, if you want to be on more than one list you
need to send each subscribe command on a line by itself.
In order to keep spammers from mailbombing the lists, the xmission
versions of the list are closed. This means that you'll receive two
messages as part of your new subscription to the xmission versions
of the list: the first message will acknowledge that your request was
received and tell you that it must be manually handled by the list
admin (me). The second will be a copy of the list info file once
I've actually forwarded the subscription request to majordomo.
If you have any difficulty leaving the old lists or joining the new lists,
please email me directly at lazlo@swcp.com.
* Messages posted to the old list addresses will be automatically forwarded
to the new lists for a short period. PLEASE UPDATE ANY MAIL ALIASES YOU
MAY HAVE SET UP FOR THE LISTS AND START SENDING YOUR POSTS TO THE NEW
LISTS INSTEAD OF THE OLD LISTS. The only thing that will change is the
machine name; "kraftwerk@cs.uwp.edu" becomes "kraftwerk@xmission.com", and
so forth. The new lists will still be archived, so don't worry about
missing messages if you don't get over to the new lists right away -- but
please move as soon as you possibly can.
DO NOT SEND MESSAGES TO BOTH LISTS IN THE HOPES OF "REACHING EVERBODY".
People on the xmission lists will get two copies of everything sent this
way, which will annoy them.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please email me. See you at
the new location!

Subject: New Info Message
Date: 16 Aug 1996 09:52:00 -0600 (MDT)
It looks like I didn't get the info message for the list up on xmission in
time for everyone to see it when they signed on. Just so everyone has a
chance to read it, here it is.

The Y E L L O Mailing List
ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
------------------
This is the introductory message for the "yello" electronic mailing
list. Please read this message carefully before joining and/or posting
to the list; it contains information about list etiquette and instructions
on using the mailing list software. (If you're new to mailing lists, you
may wish to keep a copy of this message around for future reference.)
If you ever need to retrieve another copy of this message, email
majordomo@xmission.com with the command "info yello" in the body of
the message.
WHAT THIS LIST IS ABOUT
-----------------------
The Yello Mailing List is a forum for discussions about the Swiss
duo Dieter Meier and Boris Blank, a.k.a. "Yello".
Archives for yello are available via ftp from cs.uwp.edu (131.210.1.4) in
the pub/music/artists/y/yello directory.
HOW TO SUBSCRIBE AND UNSUBSCRIBE
To join "yello," send email to majordomo@xmission.com with the command
"subscribe yello" (without quotes) in the body of the message.
You will recieve a confirmation message and a copy of this information
file. Once you are subscribed, you will recieve each message as it
is posted to the list.
A digest version of "yello" is also available. If you subscribe
to the digest you will recieve groups of postings in a single email message
instead of one at a time. These "digests" are sent out whenever there
is a certain amount of text in the queue. To subscribe to the digest,
email majordomo@xmission.com with the command "subscribe yello-digest"
(again, with no quotes) in the body of the message.
To leave the list, send email to majordomo@xmission.com with the command
"unsubscribe yello" or "unsubscribe yello-digest" (as appropriate)
in the body of the message. If you have trouble unsubscribing, send
email describing the problem in detail (what commands you sent, what
you got back if anything, etc.) to yello-owner@xmission.com.
PLEASE DO NOT MAIL "UNSUBSCRIBE" REQUESTS TO THE LIST. Mail to the list
may take a few days to get my attention, but mail to yello-owner
is always dealt with as soon as possible.
To switch from the digest version of the list to the regular version, or
vice-versa, you much first unsubscribe from the version you're on and
subscribe to the other version as detailed above. Majordomo does not have
a command that toggles digest status.
Remember: problems with your subscription should be reported to
yello-owner@xmission.com, not to the list itself.
USING THE LIST
--------------
All postings to the list should go to yello@xmission.com whether you're
on the regular or digest version of the list. Message sent to this address
will immediately be forwarded to all members of the list, and will be queued
for the next digest. New members are encouraged to introduce themselves.
When you join, please send a message to the list describing (in brief) who
you are and your interest in the list's topic.
Here are some guidelines to remember when using the list:
* Majordomo will check to make sure that you are a list subscriber before
sending your message to all the members of the list. You should send
messages from the account you used to subscribe to the list, otherwise
your mail will be delayed.
* The usual rules of list courtesy apply: avoid long signatures (four lines
is a good size), trim down quotations from previous postings, and try
to keep messages relevant to the list's topic (no general advertisements,
"warnings" about viruses, chain letters, and so forth). The list manager
has final say on whether a topic is welcome on the list; please do your
best to follow his guidance.
* The messages you send are going out to hundreds of other people.
Please think twice before posting flames or extremely large messages
to the list. You should *never* send graphics or audio files to
the list -- doing so may result in your subscription being canceled.
* The list is not meant to be used as an advertising forum, though short
notices of the form "I have <this sort of thing> for sale; please email
me for a full list" are acceptable as long as the items for sale are
directly relevant to the topic of the mailing list.
* Please remember that ALL requests to join or leave the list should
be mailed to majordomo@xmission.com not the list itself. If your
requests don't seem to be working for some reason, please email
yello-owner@xmission.com with a description of the problem.
* Do not repost messages from this list to other forums without first
getting permission from the person who wrote that message.
* This list may have an associated FTP and/or WWW archive. Further
information may be found at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Lists. Please
become familiar with any online resources that support the list; you
may be able to find the answers to some kinds of questions without
having to send those questions to hundreds of people.
This list is managed by Lazlo Nibble (lazlo@swcp.com, a.k.a. Ernie
Longmire) and is operated from xmission.com thanks to the generous
assistance of Pete Ashdown.
Thanks for reading this far. I hope you enjoy the list!

Subject: CD Online?

Hi!
It seems that the Yello Double-CD "Hands on Yello - The Updates" is not
available anymore in Hamburg. Is there a www CD online shop around where I
can order it? (I haven't got any credit card...)
Greetings

briefly stated: i've been a collector of yello goods since i first heard
"gotta say yes..."
from that point, i chased their recorded trail backwards, and followed it to
this point. i'm frustrated that the rest of the world doesn't "get it" where
yello's musicis concerned but i suppose part of the joy of this obsession is
having something so special to ourselves.
best, FG

Really-From: "Lazlo Nibble" <lazlo@swcp.com>
I've given David Datta the final go-ahead to shut down the versions of these
lists that live at cs.uwp.edu. If you have not yet moved over to the versions
of the lists at xmission.com, please do so immediately.
For detailed instructions on joining the new versions of the lists, visit
http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Lists
(If you came in late, these lists are moving from cs.uwp.edu to xmission.com
because cs.uwp.edu is going to be shut down soon.)
