Web Sites Mail List
The Web Sites mailing list is here for two reasons. To demonstrate how
a mailing list works and to discuss the various features, pitfalls and annoyances
of web site design. For instance, I personally hate Java apps. Would make for
a good discussion through the mailing list because there are uses for Java apps
and some people love them...
Mailing lists are a dynamic communications forum through e-mail. People send their comments to the 'list' which then resends that message out to all the people who are subscribed. Those people can then reply to either the original sender or back to the list through e-mail. The difference between the standard mailing list and the 'digest' are that the standard list sends out e-mails as they arrive. The 'digest' holds the e-mails in an archive which is sent out about every three days.
Like most mailing lists, absolutely no abuse will be allowed!
Any one who harasses other users, becomes offensive or uses foul language or
otherwise disrupts the mailing list will be permanently banned from the list!
From this page, you can subscribe or unsubscribe to the Web Sites mailing list by using the e-mailing feature of your browser. If your browser does not support the "mailto:" function, you can subscribe or unsubscribe manually as follows:
If you have a Mac or use AOL, please read the note at the bottom of the page!

To subscribe or unsubscribe manually, send an e-mail to:
websites-request@bearlycomputing.com for the regular list
or websites-d-request@bearlycomputing.com for the digest.
In the subject line of the e-mail, enter "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" (without the quotes!) to do either.
To send an e-mail to the Web Sites mailing list (add to the list):
With your browser, click on Send to the List. When the e-mail window opens, enter in your subject and comments, then send it.
Manually, send an e-mail to websites@bearlycomputing.com
We've had a slight problem getting the automated subscribe working with a Mac through AOL. We don't know yet if the problem is the Mac (or it's browser) or AOL. So, to subscribe to the mailing list, use the manual option explained above by sending an e-mail to websites-request@bearlycomputing.com with the word "subscribe" in the subject line (no quotes). For the digest version, use websites-d-request@bearlycomputing.com instead. If you have a Mac and/or AOL, we'd like to hear your experience in trying the automated link also. Apparently the auto subject line is not being properly processed and is left on the end of the mail address which of course causes a "Host unknown" mail return. If you have a Mac and not AOL, or AOL and not a Mac, we'd like to see if this will work... Thanks...
