X-Message-Number: 130 From: Kevin Q. Brown Subject: mailing list on automatic Date: 20 Sep 1989 I soon will be leaving for my Sept. 22 through Oct. 31 wedding and honeymoon vacation and will be offline during most of this time. This does not mean that the cryonics mailing list has to stop while I am away, though. I have set up some software to examine all incoming mail messages and those messages with a "Subject" line with the word CRYONICS (in capital letters) will be automatically queued for a mailblast to the mailing list. (Hopefully the software will not confuse bounced messages from a mailblast as new submissions to the mailing list!) For example, if the latest cryonics message sent was number 130 and a message with the line: Subject: CRYONICS reanimation achieved! arrives, then my mail-handling software will generate a mailblast to the mailing list with the line: Subject: cryonics #131 - reanimation achieved! Note that since the cryonics mailing list mailblasts use the word "cryonics" in lower case in the subject lines, a simple "reply" command to me will not result in a message that gets distributed to the mailing list. This will help ensure that submissions to the mailing list have to be deliberate rather than accidental. Enjoy your new automated cryonics mailing list! - Kevin Q.
