December Mailing

Hi all,

Hello all, and a warm welcome to all who have just joined the list. As many
may remember last month I asked if I should keep this monthly mailing. The
response was positive. So unless I get a diffret response some time in the
future, you can look foward to this message in your mail box once a month.
We now have 324 members who subscribe to the list world wide.

I know that not every one on the list celebrates the up coming holidays, but
this is good time for me to thank every one for all of the great
conversation and advice. Keep up the good work. I know I've said this
before, but remember that the list does not belong to Gregg and myself, it
belongs to you.

I would also like to announce that I will be organizing a print swap in the
up coming year. If your interested in participating start sending me your
ideas.

Go out a take a pinhole photo.

James

PINHOLE DISCUSSION MAILING LIST
Document dated: December 18, 2000
============================================
PURPOSE OF THE LIST:
The purpose of the pinhole discussion mailing list is the discussion of any
and all aspects of pinhole photography. All messages sent to this list
should be related to pinhole photography.
============================================
THE RULES OF THE LIST:
There are no specific rules for participating on this list. But everyone is
reminded that list membership is a privilege, and list members are expected
to treat each other with proper respect. Personal attacks or "flames" will
not be tolerated and can get one banned from the list.
If you encounter any problems of any kind in using the list, please notify
James Kellar at pinhole@jameskellar.com or Gregg Kemp at
gregg.kemp@pinhole.com.
Please do not send problems you may encounter to the list. The only ones
who can help you solve these problems are James and Gregg.
============================================
REPLYING TO POSTINGS:
Messages sent to you via the discussion list are set up to "behave"
differently from messages sent to you by an individual.  When you "reply"
(using your email program's reply feature) to messages you receive from the
list, your reply will automatically be directed back to the mailing list
and NOT to the person who sent the message. The list program creates a
Replyto: discussion-list@pinhole.com line in the mail message header. This
tells your email program to send the message back to the list rather than
the person who originally sent the message.
In order to send a private message back to someone who sent a message
through the list by replying, you must change the To: address from
pinhole-discussion@pinhole.com to the individual's e-mail address.
Note that if someone puts the list in the Cc: field rather than the To:
field, the reply may go to the sender rather than the list.  For this
reason, it is ALWAYS a good idea to check who you are sending an e-mail to
before sending it.
============================================
ATTACHMENTS
Attachments are files that are attached to an email message. The email
system is designed to send messages using standard ASCII character set.
Attachments are a way of sending a content that uses characters outside of
the ASCII standard.
Attachments are not welcome on this list. They are large. They usually can
only be accessed with a specific program. They can unintentionally carry
viruses.  A significant portion of the list is unable to use attachments.
Please do not send attachments to the list. All email to the list should be
send as plain text. This is the one and only standard used by all computers
and all email programs.
Some email programs by default send email messages as attachments, the MS
Outlook Express and Netscape's Communicator are often set up to send all
email messages as two attachments, one in plain text (ASCII) and one in
'rich' text (html format). If you use these programs please change your
setting so that your messages will be sent as plain text ONLY.
============================================
WARNINGS, VIRUSES, TAXES, END OF THE WORLD ETC....
There are always a number of hoaxes traversing the net, where one is urged
to email an urgent warning message concerning some catastrophic new virus,
government policy, etc to everyone you know.... These are almost always
hoaxes. Do not send copies of these to the list, even if you are sure it is
legitimate.
