First you must request from Majordomo a listing of the available archives. You request the listing by sending mail to majordomo@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us with the body (not the subject) of the message containing the single line index leica-users Majordomo will send you a list with lines that look like this: - -rw-rw-rw- 1 daemon majordom 59820 Mar 18 21:31 v02.n244 This is a line from a Unix directory listing. The first several parts (until the number after "majordom") don't matter to you. The number "59820" is the length in characters of the digest this line represents. The comes the date: Mar 18 is March 18 of this year, and 21:31 is the time this digest went out. On older entries (from before this year) the listing will show the year. The last part, v02.n244, is the filename. Once you identify the lines corresponding to the dates of the digests you wish to retrieve, record the filename, which is the very last token in the line -- v02.n244 in the case above. To fetch this digest, send a message to majordomo@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us with the body (not the subject) containing the single line get leica-users v02.n244 and Majordomo should send you the digest. You can only retrieve one digest per message, so if you want ten digests, you have to send ten messages. Also, Majordomo cannot understand HTML messages! You must send plain text messages. That's it -- good luck. Patrick
