Hello Click4HP list-ers

I recently received a request for some assistance with one of the
commands for this list - to take off the Digest command. When I went
looking through our regularly posted "Tips for managing Click4HP"
message, I realized that not all of the really useful commands were
noted in it.  The following is a copy of a message posted almost two
years ago by Click4HPs technical list-owner Wiz - Sam Lanfranco.  Sam
has guided the development and management of this list for more than two
years, and has made it possible for 510 of us subscribers to easily work
in this virtual workspace with messages posted and received. Many thanks
to Sam!

TECHNICAL NOTE FROM LISTMANAGER:

Some of you may be unaware of the SET CLICK4HP DIGESTS and SET CLICK4HP
NODIGESTS commands which can be used with CLICK4HP.

The commands are sent as one-line, no subject, to [log in to unmask]

It combines the day's postings into a single digest with an index and is
sent from the York University machine shortly after midnight
Eastern Standard Time. For North America that means it is in your email
queue as a single document each morning. This is easier for some but
less attractive to those who prefer to receive the postings as separate
files, to save or discard.

It is better at my end for a variety of reasons. On a given day I get
many error messages as a result of bottlenecks and dead user
accounts. For bottlenecks the messages indicate delays and repeated
tries at delivery. For dead accounts I delete them. For full mailboxes I
patiently let the errors flow. In the future I may have to delete
accounts that produce unreasonable flows of error messages - where the
cause is within the control of the user (eg. full mailbox).

Remember that you can use SET CLICK4HP NOMAIL and SET CLICK4HP MAIL,
again to [log in to unmask] when you have to be away from your account
for extended periods.

Remember that anyone can use REV CLICK4HP to get the subscriber list -
to see if you have been deleted following a long lull in CLICK4HP
postings to your mailbox. The rapid growth of use of the internet is
showing up as more delays in delivering mail through electronic
gate-ways and to keep the work load managable I will be deleting people
whose accounts reject mail for long periods of time.

LASTLY, there are accounts which send error messages even though the
mail is getting through. This has to do either with the network at your
end, or some particular gateway between here and there. If you are
receiving CLICK4HP and get a notice that I have UNSUBSCRIBED you DO NOT
TAKE THIS AS A SIGN THAT THE THOUGHT POLICE ARE AT WORK. Just
RESUBSCRIBE with

SUBSCRIBE CLICK4HP your-ordinary-name

to [log in to unmask],

or send a note to one of the list-owners:

Liz Rykert - [log in to unmask]
Sam Lanfranco - [log in to unmask]
