votemgr User Instructions
---------------------------------------------------
votemgr is a program that allows you to send NETMail
ballots to systems holding one or more votings. votemgr is
much like areafix, filefix, areamgr, raid or other
mail-interactive programs. These programs will receive and
process NETMail messages from users, saving a lot of work to
SysOps.
This is what you have to do in order to "vote" using
votemgr: there are three basic procedures you will probably
want to follow before you send your ballot:
o First of all, you must know what is the name of the
active elections held at one node, and for which you
are validated to vote. You do this by writing a
NETMail message addressed to votemgr at the address
of the node holding the voting, writing "%LIST" in
the Re: field:

votemgr will, in return, send you a LIST of active
votings held at this system.
NOTE: tearline is needed since some systems kill
empty received messages!
o Second, and now you know what the name of the active
election is, you need to know what the choices are.
You do this by writing a NETMail message addressed
to votemgr at the address of the node holding the
voting, writing the name of the selected voting in
the Re: field and "%LIST" in the message text:

| %LIST
votemgr will, in return, send you a LIST of valid
choices for the election "NEC343" held at this
system.
o And third, now you know what the choices are, you can
send your ballot. You do this by writing a NETMail
message addressed to votemgr at the address of the
node holding the voting, writing the name of the
selected voting in the Re: field and your ballot
string in the message text. The ballot string has
the syntax: "<your_choice> !<your_signature>".
NOTE: your signature is a string that will be
displayed together with results, so you know
your ballot has been in fact processed.
NOTE: neither the choice nor the signature can
contain spaces ' '. Underscores '_' must
be used instead.

ballot processing.
