MeteorObs - an Internet forum for meteor observers of all levels
meteorobs - Email Access to the List
To post a message to the whole meteorobs list, just send an
email to the address: meteorobs@meteorobs.org
All messages sent to the mailing list are distributed to all its subscribers,
and are then stored in an archive accessible on the World Wide Web at: http://www.meteorobs.org/maillist/maillist.html
This Archive can also be searched using our Keyword Search Form.
To subscribe or unsubscribe meteorobs, please send a
message to the email address: majordomo@meteorobs.org
with your name and your e-mail address in one of the following formats:
subscribe meteorobs myaddress@my.domain.net
end
Or:
unsubscribe meteorobs myaddress@my.domain.net
end
Or use the MeteorObs Subscription Web form!
The "Digest Version" of meteorobs is a more convenient (but
less timely) way to keep up with the posts to the list! Instead of
receiving each individual email, you get a single large message,
packed with all the posts to the list so far that day.
To move yourself to the Digest of meteorobs,
please send a message from your subscribed account, to the
automated MajorDomo email address: majordomo@meteorobs.org
making sure your email body contains the following text:
subscribe meteorobs-digest
unsubscribe meteorobs
end
The (large) 'meteorobs' Web Archive is also searchable by keyword!
Use this simple Web search form... Or you may
retrieve the *HTML* results of a keyword search of this archive, by emailing
the address majordomo@meteorobs.org
with a message containing the following commands:
grep meteorobs <your-keyword-here>
end
Or to actually retrieve all the HTML files returned
by 'grep', use: a message containing the following commands:
retrieve meteorobs <your-keyword-here>
end
For example, you may find all past articles relating to the suspected "Xi
Bootid" meteor shower by searching for "xi.bootid.*" in our Web form, or by
submitting the command "retrieve meteorobs xi.bootid.*...
NOTE: Please never send subscribe or unsubscribe requests to the 'meteorobs' mailing list address!
NOTE: If either of the Archive or Keyword Search options above
are not functioning correctly, there are two EXTERNAL sites which both maintain
searchable partial archives of the 'meteorobs' Mailing List:
"Yahoo!" maintains a searchable and browsable archive of 'meteorobs', which
covers all posts since Januray 1997. You can even sign up to receive 'meteorobs'
(indirectly) through this site!
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/meteorobs
Here's another wonderful tool for browsing and searching 'meteorobs', and many
other astronomical mail archives, which also covers our posts back to 1997:
