    Someone already has :)

                    mail the word "subscribe" to aes-request@suburbia.net

                                             or

                   mail the word "subscribe" to aes-d-request@suburbia.net
                                     (AES weekly digest)

    SUBSCRIBING
    -----------

    Send mail to:

            aes-request@suburbia.net
    or
            aes-d-request@suburbia.net (AES digest)

    with the subject or body of:

            subscribe

    UN-SUBSCRIBING
    -------------

    Send mail to:

            aes-request@suburbia.net
    or
            aes-d-request@suburbia.net (AES digest)

    with the subject or body of:

            unsubscribe aes

    POSTING
    -------

    To send a message to the list, address it to:

            aes@suburbia.net

    Messages under 700 bytes in size will not be accepted. Send your
    one-liners to nobody@nowhere.org.

    REPLYING
    --------

    If you are replying to a message already on the AES list using
    your mail programs reply facility you may have to change the reply
    address to aes@suburbia.net. This is because the AES mailing
    list program is configured to have return replies sent the author
    in order to avoid receiving the replies of misconfigured "vacation"
    programs which automatically send email saying "I've gone to the
    moon for two weeks to hunt rare bits".

    ARCHIVES
    --------

    Monthly back issues of aes since July 1998 are available from:

            ftp://suburbia.net/pub/mailinglists/aes

    You can also instruct the mailing list processor to automatically scan and
    retrive messages from the archive. It understands the following commands:

            get filename ...
            ls directory ...
            egrep case_insensitive_regular_expression filename ...
            maxfiles nnn
            version

            Aliases for 'get': send, sendme, getme, gimme, retrieve, mail
            Aliases for 'ls': dir, directory, list, show
            Aliases for 'egrep': search, grep, fgrep, find

            Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
            Multiple commands per mail are allowed.
            Setting maxfiles to zero will remove the limit (to protect you against
            yourself no more than maxfiles files will be returned per request).
            Egrep supports most common flags.

            Examples:
            ls vomume96 (for aes digest)
            ls latest (the latest directory containes the archived messages)
            get latest/12
            egrep some.word latest/*

    TECHNICAL
    ---------

    The list processor software is based on the excellent Procmail/Smartlist
    by Stephen R. van den Berg <berg@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> with
    some minor extensions by Julian Assange <proff@suburbia.net>.
