M I X - L I S T I N F O =========================== MIX(#), the Mossbauer Information eXchange, is a set of electronic services primarily for those engaged or interested in Mossbauer Spectroscopy. MIX - LIST is part of MIX. The main purpose of MIX-LIST is to publish MIX-Bulletin, an electronic discussion journal of the Mossbauer Community. Please distribute this INFO-file amongst your colleagues and save it for your later information. 1. The List ------------ Subscription to MIX-LIST is not restricted by any means and is, of course, free. Subscription is expected first of all from Mossbauer spectroscopists, students interested in Mossbauer spectroscopy and from all people engaged or interested in Mossbauer spectroscopy or - in a wider sense - in related fields utilizing hyperfine interactions. Anybody having access to electronic mailing may subscribe to MIX and submit her/his contributions: questions, comments, suggestions, announcement, opinion to MIX to be published in the next issue of MIX-Bulletin, provided that the e-mail address from which the contribution is submitted is known to the list, i.e. the address is one of those of the subscibers. (i.e. MIX-LIST is presently a closed list.) Mail attachments and coded mail body, are not supported. Should you wish to distribute binary files, the use of anonymous ftp upload facility and a text mail reminder is recommended. Please observe, that the list is non-moderated. The Bulletin has no editors in the usual sense; everything will be published without further restrictions. Consequently, everybody bears full responsibility for his/her own contributions concerning both content and style. The collection ('digest') and the distribution of the contributions is done automatically by the Majordomo list server. The journal (a digest of the last day's messages if any) will be forwarded by e-mail to all subscribers within one day time. NOTE (to users of the former INFOSERV MIX services): The MIX-Personal_Data_Directory containing addresses, phone and fax numbers, etc. submitted until 1 December, 1996 are available from the WWW home page and Gopher archive of MIX. Since Majordomo does not support such a database, updating those data can exclusively be done from the WWW home page of MIX at http://www.kfki.hu/~mixhp. As concerning the List, this is a step backwards, but we hope that other services will compensate you for this. Should you have any questions, comments, or procedure requiring human intervention please contact the editors at the e-mail address: mixhp@sunserv.kfki.hu. Please find below technical information on how to use MIX-LIST. 2.

HELP - To get the general help file of the Majordomo list server which handles several lists. (non-MIX-specific!) INDEX - To get by e-mail a list of the available files at MIX-LIST.

WHO - Returns by mail the complete list of subscribers (mail addresses) of the MIX-Bulletin. END - Always use this command at the end of the command sequence of your mail. This is required especially when your mail contains a mail-footer text or signature at the end which may affect the automatic handling of the mail-requests. 2.3. Usage examples: -------------------- In order to sign-up to the list, send an e-mail to mix-request@sunserv.kfki.hu the body of your mail must contain: SUBSCRIBE on a separate line. (The subject field is not processed.) Beginning from the next issue of the Bulletin, you shall receive MIX-Bulletin by e-mail to the address you subscribed to the MIX-LIST from.

Remarks: ------------- * The body of your mail sent to mix-request@sunserv.kfki.hu address may contain multiple commands, but they should be placed in different lines of the mail body text, and terminated by an END command on a separate line. * The system IS NOT case-sensitive for commands, but in the case of GET command the file name must fit exactly (including upper and lower case characters). * Even if one submits multiple commands, only one answer mail will be sent by the majordomo@sunserv.kfki.hu address, including the answers for all requests, except for GET commands, which will be answered separately. * Please DO NOT reply automatically from your mailer to any message you get from Majordomo. Such e-mails will never be handled by the list server but will be forwarded to the list-owner and cause extra load. * Instead of the address mix-request@sunserv.kfki.hu the direct address of the list server majordomo@sunserv.kfki.hu may be used, but then all commands sent in must include the name of the list you are addressing to (MIX in this case). For example: INFO MIX, WHO MIX, or SUBSCRIBE MIX, etc. A direct addressing of the MIX list is recommended, as mentioned above. * WARNING! If a contribution is submitted, it will be published. If a contribution is submitted twice it will be published twice! There is no warranty that one of them will be withdrawn if you have already submitted both. Should you still wish to withdraw an unintentionally submitted contribution, please contact the list-owner (mixhp@sunserv.kfki.hu). We shall try to remove the indicated contribution before publication. ************************************************************************ (#) Mossbauer Information eXchange.
