Re: Seedlings!

Yesterday, I just got acknowledgement I was added to this list server.
Today I got 11 messages. I may cancel soon, myself; however, I saved the
two messages from the listserver about unsubscribing. They are either
going to be attached or included as plain or html text.

Good luck getting unsubscribed!!

4026 Thu, 20 Mar 1997 08:44:39 Your subscription to the SQFT list (Square
Foot Gardening) has been accepted. Please save this message for future
reference, especially if you are not familiar with LISTSERV. This might look
like a waste of disk space now, but in 6 months you will be glad you saved
this information when you realize that you cannot remember what are the
lists you are subscribed to, or what is the command to leave the list to
avoid filling up your mailbox while you are on vacations. In fact, you
should create a new mail folder for subscription confirmation messages like
this one, and for the "welcome messages" from the list owners that you will
occasionally receive after subscribing to a new list. To send a message to
all the people currently subscribed to the list, just send mail to
SQFT@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU. This is called "sending mail to the list", because
you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the
people who have subscribed. This address (SQFT@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU) is also
called the "list address". You must never try to send any command to that
address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed.
All commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV address",
LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU (or LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.BITNET). It is very important
to understand the difference between the two, but fortunately it is not
complicated. The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number, and the list address
is like a normal phone line. If you make your FAX call someone's regular
phone number by mistake, it will be an unpleasant experience for him but you
will probably be excused the first time. If you do it regularly, however, he
will probably get upset and send you a nasty complaint. It is the same with
mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling hundreds or
thousands of people at the same time, so a lot more people get annoyed if
you use the wrong number. You may leave the list at any time by sending a
"SIGNOFF SQFT" command to LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU (or
LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.BITNET). You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to
confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you do not trust
the system, send a "SET SQFT REPRO" command and LISTSERV will send you a
copy of your own messages, so that you can see that the message was
distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while you may find
that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail program does not tell
you that the message is from you when it informs you that new mail has
arrived from SQFT. If you send a "SET SQFT ACK NOREPRO" command, LISTSERV
will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, which will look different in
your mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately
that this is an acknowledgement you can read later. Finally, you can turn
off acknowledgements completely with "SET SQFT NOACK NOREPRO". Contributions
sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list of the
available archive files by sending an "INDEX SQFT" command to
LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU (or LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.BITNET). You can then order
these files with a "GET SQFT LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database
search facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on
the latter. Please note that it is presently possible for other people to
determine that you are signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW"
command, which returns the e-mail address and name of all the subscribers.
If you do not want your name to be visible, just issue a "SET SQFT CONCEAL"
command. More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV
reference card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD" command
to LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.UMSL.EDU (or LISTSERV@UMSLVMA.BITNET).

Welcome to the SQFT listserv, sqft@umslvma.umsl.edu! This is for people who
are interested in The Square Foot Gardening Method. While Square Foot
Gardening covers many topics of interests to gardeners generally, this is
NOT a general lawn-and-garden list. Square footers are primarily addressing
home growing of vegetables, flowers and herbs, not trees or lawns, and are
generally organic rather than chemical-based for fertilization and pest
control. If you have any questions about the list itself, eg. how to
unsubscribe, change your user options, etc., write to
silvest@umslvma.umsl.edu (Melissa Silvestre, at the University of
Missouri-St. Louis) NOT to the entire list. This list is run by the
tradition "listserv" software. Send commands to listserv@umslvma.umsl.edu.
For a complete list of available commands, send a message to
listserv@umslvma.umsl.edu with the single body line: help Please Note: The
"reply" command of most email programs will reply back to the ENTIRE list,
so if you intend to reply just to the individual, use "forward" instead and
type in that person's email address. Our resident sqft gardening question
answerer (and contact with Mel Bartholomew, who is not yet online) is John
Webster at gallus@flinet.com. For more information about square foot
gardening (what it is, etc.) see our web page,
http://www.umsl.edu/~silvest/garden/sqft.html. If you do not have web
access, write to silvest@umslvma.umsl.edu and request the FAQ. We hope you
enjoy the list and that it increases your enjoyment and production in your
garden.
