Using the mailing list

[Olaf Solstrand]

This might be a little off-topic, it's about the mailing list.

First, two tips for YOU;
-1- Sometimes personal answers has been posted on the list. If I ask of 
something, you give me the answer. Fair enough. But I don't see the point of 
sending it BOTH to my personal mailadress (harryklein at hotmail.com) AND to 
the mailing list (dcml at stp.ling.uu.se). When you send a mail to the mailing 
list, I automatically get it, and therefor there is no reason to also send 
the mail to my private adress.

-2- When you mention stories; please write who wrote it. I can take most 
CB/DR-stories, but according other stories, it's really hard to understand 
which story this is. This is even worse if you not even write the TITLE, but 
only the number of the WDC where it was printed. Yikes!


So, I need a tip;
This "digests" sounds interesting. But I don't figure out how to use it. My 
very first day on the mailing list I used these digests, but what I recieved 
was 30kB big mails containing nothing but a line of numbers. Heeeelp... 
Therefor, I get the mails one and one, which results that if I'm on vacation 
one week,I suddenly have two or three hundred new mails in my inbox. I 
really want to use digests - I just don't understand how.
