| If the mailing list was distributed as singel messages,

| ) It would be easier and faster to answer a question - and quote the old
| message.
| ) Mail-readers which support threading would display things VERY easy to

|
| Maybe sending the digest as a singe message could be implemented as on
| option... maybe
| subscribe samba-digest Firstname Lastname for digest
|
| and
|
| subscribe samba-single Firstname Lastname for single-message

Send a message to listproc@samba.anu.edu.au with the body of
set samba mail ack
and you will get all mail to the list seperately.
If you mail the above address with the body of 'help set' you will get
the following.
Syntax: set <list> [<option> <arg[s]>]
Without the optional arguments, get a list of all current settings for
the specified list. Otherwise change the option to the new value for
that list, as follows:
option can be: mail, password, address, conceal
arg for mail can be: ack, noack, postpone, digest
args for password have to be: current-password new-password
args for address have to be: current-password new-address
args for conceal can be: yes, no
'set <list>': get the current option settings for the list
'set <list> mail ack': your message is sent back to you
'set <list> mail noack': your message is not sent back to
you
'set <list> mail postpone': no messages will be sent to
you until you
change mode again
'set <list> mail digest': your message is not sent back to you.
New messages are not sent to you as they arrive, but are
accumulated into digests that are periodically sent to you.
'set <list> password <current-password>
<new-password>': change your
password for live access to the system (i.e. for subscriber
access privileges when telneting to the system).
'set <list> address <current-password> <new-address>:
change the address
you are subscribed with; may not be available on all lists.
'set <list> conceal yes': remove yourself from
'recipients' and
'statistics' listings.
'set <list> conceal no': opposite of previous mode.
