Fwd: tlhIngan-Hol: Command Not Understood





Your command could not be understood by the list administration
software.  Please review the help file, included below, for assistance
in dealing with the tlhIngan-Hol list administration software. If all
else fails, you can get in touch with a human by sending a message to
<[email protected]> with a subject line
containing the word "attention." In the body of the message, describe
your problem and the list administrator will attend to your request as
soon as possible.

Thank you for your interest in tlhIngan-Hol, the oldest public forum
for discussing the Klingon Language.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------



This message contains the help file for the tlhIngan-Hol mailing list.

INTRODUCTION
Administration of the tlhIngan-Hol mailing list is semi-automated. Some
of the common operations can be handled directly by the list software,
without the need of (possibly fallible) human intervention. For operations
that require the attention of a human being, an alternative mechanism is
provided.

COMMAND SUMMARIES
The sections below describe the commands that you can use to interact
with the list management software. Each command is triggered by using a
particular keyword IN THE SUBJECT LINE of your message. Case is not
significant; thus "subscribe" and "SuBsCrIbE" are equivalent. Embedding
these keywords in the body of your message will not work -- they will be
ignored.

	Keyword				Summary
	------------------------------------------------------------------
	subscribe	Subscribe to the list. The list management software
			adds the address in the From line of your message
			to the list address database and sends you a welcome
			message and the latest copy of the Frequently Asked
			Questions list (FAQ).

	unsubscribe	Remove yourself from the list. The list management
			software looks for an address matching the one on
			your message's From line in the list address
			database and removes it.  Then it sends you
			confirmation.

	help		Receive help message. The list management software
			sends you a copy of this message.

	faq		Receive the FAQ. The list management software sends
			you a copy of the latest version of the Frequently
			Asked Questions list.

	attention	Get a human's attention. The list management software
			forwards messages with this keyword on to a human
			operator. If you have a more complicated request, or
			if you are having trouble with one of the other
			keywords, try this one.

FUTURES
At this time, there is no support for digests or archives, but these may be
added in the future. In addition, there is no direct way to handle a
change of address. One method that you can use directly is to send a
"subscribe" request from your new account, and then an "unsubscribe"
request from the old one. Or, if you prefer not to get the helpfile
and FAQ that are always sent when you use the "subscribe" command, you can 
send a message with the "attention" keyword to get a human to make the
change to the subscriber database directly. This method make take a bit
longer, depending on how busy the List Administrator is at the time.

Another feature that may be added in the future is the ability to 
suspend mail from tlhIngan-Hol without unsubscribing and to reenable
it at a later time.
