How to unsubscribe
If you suddenly find yourself subscribed to NeXT-icon@gun.com and don't want to be, send a message with the subject 'unsubscribe' to NeXT-icon-request@gun.com.  Note: Do not send unsubscription requests or administrative questions to NeXT-icon@gun.com.

How to participate
NeXT-icon is a mailing list dedicated to the distribution of mail pictures, application and document icons, and cutting-edge .dir.tiff images.  All messages posted to the list are NEXTSTEP-compatible multimedia mail format.  You must have a NEXTSTEP-compatible mail reader in order to participate in this list.  Unsubscribe now if you do not have a NEXTSTEP-compatible mail reader.

NeXT-icon accepts the following type of messages:

·	48 x 48 pixel application and document icons.
·	48 x 48 pixel .dir.tiff and .opendir.tiff images.
·	64 x 64 pixel mail pictures.
·	Tricks and tips related to creating icon images on NEXTSTEP-compatible operating systems.
·	Software reviews and recommendations that make creating NEXTSTEP icons easier.
·	New product announcements.

Submissions to NeXT-icon may be color or black-and-white images of any pixel depth, and either compressed or uncompressed format.  Please give each image a descriptive file name before you send them, so people don't inadvertently lose their own .dir.tiffs.

Guidelines for everyone
Take care to follow our guidelines; ignoring them will get you automatically unsubscribed from the list.

Please...

·	DO NOT subscribe to this list if occasionally-frivolous NeXTmail irritates you.
·	DO NOT send nextlogin.tiff panels, sounds, or any very large images.

You may reach NeXT-icon through the following e-mail addresses:
        
	Submissions go to to:
		NeXT-icon@gun.com

	Administrative requests go to:
		NeXT-icon-request@gun.com

This list is self-moderated.  Each message goes to lots of people around the world.  Please do not abuse this privilege and force formal moderation of the list.  All requests to add, change, or delete your address, or any other question regarding administrative services, should be addressed to NeXT-icon-request@gun.com.  If NeXT-icon mail bounces to you, our administrative software will immediately and silently delete your name from the list.  You may resubscribe if you suspect that your subscription has been deleted.
        
Mailing list archives
Archives of this mailing list are included in Skylee Press' Big Green CD <info@skylee.com>.  Free archives are also available on the Internet at ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu:/software/NeXT/graphics/next-icon@gun.com-2Q95.tar.gz

Those without NeXTmail may decode NeXTmail-format messages by copying the entire message to a file, opening a Terminal window, and running:

        uudecode filename | uncompress -c | tar xvf -

If you have GNU tar, then you may execute the following:
        
        uudecode filename | gnutar xvzf -

The text of the message will be in Rich Text format file index.rtf.  Attachments will be in their own directories.

Compuserve, AOL, and Delphi users
If your e-mail account is provided by Compuserve, AOL, Delphi or similar dial-up service, then you don't want to be on this list.  All mail is in multimedia format, and requires the NEXTSTEP operating system to be read.  NEXTSTEP replaces the operating system that you have now and is very expensive; contact info@next.com for more information about NEXTSTEP.  In the meantime, send a message to next-icon-request@gun.com with the word 'unsubscribe' in the subject.

Supporters
This list would not exist without the time and services of its supporters.  This list is administered by Timothy Reed of Black Market Technologies, Inc. in Brooklyn, New York as a free service to the world-wide NeXT community, and is completely unrelated to totally cool and reasonably priced administrative products that Black Market makes and sells for NEXTSTEP and Solaris.  Contact info@bmt.gun.com for more information about their software.

NeXT-icon is also supported by Gotham Users of NeXT, Inc., the New York City NeXT Users Group.  GUN encourages members' contribution of time and facilities to expand electronic services to dues-paying members and the world-wide community.  Contact info@gun.com for more information.

Disclaimer
The contents of this list are not warranted by Black Market Technologies, Timothy Reed, Gotham Users of NeXT, or anyone else.  If you cannot live with that, send a message to next-icon-request@gun.com and unsubscribe now.
