>***
>
>To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list,
>just send mail to AUTHENTICODE@LISTSERV.MSN.COM. 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 (AUTHENTICODE@LISTSERV.MSN.COM) is also called the "list
>address".
>
>Please do not send any commands to that AUTHENTICODE@LISTSERV.MSN.COM,
>as they would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All
>commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV address",
>LISTSERV@LISTSERV.MSN.COM

>you send to the list. If you want to receive a copy of your own
>messages,
>send the command:
>

>*** NOTE TO MICROSOFT EMPLOYEES

>Microsoft employees: please remember that this mailing list is provided

>
>***
>*** NOTE TO USERS OF MICROSOFT EXCHANGE
>***
>
>Subscribers to this list who use Microsoft Exchange may be accustomed
>to formatting e-mail messages using colors, italics, different fonts,
>and
>other features to emphasize portions of their messages. But not every
>subscriber uses e-mail software that interprets messages formatted using
>RTF.
>
>For people who use e-mail software that does not interpret RTF, messages
>appear with attached WINMAIL.DAT files or other undesirable effects.
>The message also may appear much differently than intended when the
>formatting is removed.
>
>In order to make list postings from Exchange readable by the entire list
>membership, please follow these procedures:
>
>- If you use a Personal or System Address Book entry to write to this
>list, be sure to clear the "Always send to this recipient in Microsoft
>Exchange Rich Text Format" checkbox in the address properties.
>
>- If you just type in the address, always use the form
>AUTHENTICODE@LISTSERV.MSN.COM and not
>[SMTP:AUTHENTICODE@LISTSERV.MSN.COM] for messages posted to the list.
>Note that the address form for subscribing and unsubscribing is
>different:
>LISTSERV@LISTSERV.MSN.COM.
>
>- You can verify if your message will be sent with RTF by clicking on
>the Check Names button, then right clicking on the address and examining
>the properties.  The "Always send..." checkbox mentioned above should be
>cleared.
>
>- If you reply to a message containing RTF formatting, your reply will
>also contain RTF unless you clear the checkbox in the Properties as
>described above.
>
>- Do not use RTF formatting such as font, size, color, italics, bold,
>underline, or bullet lists.  Please find ways to show the desired
>emphasis
>using plain text such as *text* for bold and other similar methods.
>
>- If you use Exchange Server, creating server commands by pasting data
>can cause errors because the server inserts ">" in front of pasted
>lines.
>Use Edit, Paste Special and select Text rather than RTF to avoid this
>problem.
