I have make some major changes to the way in which SunFlash and FlashBack are distributed. I am posting this weekly edition of FlashBack to everyone to help resolve some of the alias problems. You are getting this message because: sunflash@calypso.oit.unc.edu is in the sunflash list If you want to be dropped, send email to Majordomo@FlashBack.com with a message body unsubscribe sunflash sunflash@calypso.oit.unc.edu If sunflash is a local redistribution alias (e.g. sunflash@sunvice.east.sun.com) then requests should be sent to the owner of that alias instead. (e.g. owner-sunflash@sunvice.east.sun.com) If you want to make a change, unsubscribe and then subscribe. For example, fred@foo.com wants to move from the high volume daily lists to the once-per-week list. fred sends this message to Majordomo@FlashBack.com: unsubscribe flashback fred@foo.com unsubscribe sunflash fred@foo.com subscribe flashback-w fred@foo.com subscribe sunflash-w fred@foo.com If you want to unsubscribe a local redistribution alias such as sunflash@sunvice.east.sun.com (perhaps because you are renaming it), please send the unsubscribe message to Majordomo@FlashBack.com and CC flash@flashback.com. I hope that you find SunFlash and FlashBack to be of value! -johnj ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Sun FlashBack Weekly Sun FlashBack October 10th to October 23rd 1994 Sun FlashBack 1034-1049 October 1994 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Full-Text On Demand Newsletter John J.
