Newton-Announce is the name for the services surrounding the newgsgroup comp.sys.newton.announce.
- The Newsgroup -----
This is a moderated newsgroup for announcements related to Newton products, services, and events. Articles concerning personal Newton devices that the owner wishes to sell should be posted to comp.sys.newton.misc or the relevant forsale newsgroup.
To post an article, either post it to comp.sys.newton.announce or send it to newton-announce@umich.edu. The moderator, Mike Nowak (mnowak@umich.edu), will post approved articles as soon as possible. Usually this means just a few hours but it could take as long as two days to post your article, so please send it in advance if timing is critical.
- Mailing List -----
In addition to the newsgroup, there is a mailing list for those who can't read newsgroups or who wish to receive articles by e-mail. To subscribe, send a message to newton-announce-request@umich.edu with the following text:
subscribe newton-announce
or
subscribe newton-announce <email-address>
The second form allows you to replace <email-address> with an e-mail address different than the one from which you are sending the message.
To unsubscribe, send a message to newton-announce-request@umich.edu with the following text:
unsubscribe newton-announce
or
unsubscribe newton-announce <email-address>
Again, in the second form, replace <email-address> with your e-mail address.
- Archive -----
All articles are archived and available through e-mail. To get a list of available articles, send a message to majordomo@oit.itd.umich.edu with the following text:
index newton-announce
To receive one of the articles on this list by e-mail, send a message to majordomo@oit.itd.umich.edu with the following text:

where <article> is an entry from the list of available articles.
