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 seperate 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 me <[log in to unmask]> email to find out
        what is going on.
