Someone asked how to Subscribe... and their message got mangled along the
way... so thought maybe it would be a good idea to just post the Help
File.

** Ecartis Help File **
By Rachel Blackman, JT Traub and Ryan T. Dean
[Note that "Ecartis" is the list software used by Freelists.org]
TO GET A LIST OF LISTS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "lists". A list of lists hosted by the server will be returned
to you.
TO SUBSCRIBE TO A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server. In the subject
field, enter "subscribe [listname]". Or, you can send a message to
"[listname]-request" with a subject of "subscribe".
TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server (you can just
reply to this message). Enter "unsubscribe [listname]" in the
subject field. You can also send a message to
"[listname]-request" with a subject of "unsubscribe".
While you should NOT send your unsubscribe command to the list
itself, Ecartis will attempt to trap such erroneous postings and
forward them to the list administrators for proper handling.
TO GET A DIGEST EVERY DAY:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "set [listname] digest". This will turn on digests, and you
will receive a digest however often the server is configured to
send them.
TO STOP GETTING A DIGEST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "unset [listname] digest". This will turn off digest mode, and
instead you will receive an eMail every time something is posted
to the list.
TO GET A DIGEST AND NORMAL POSTS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "set [listname] digest2". This will activate digest mode with
normal posting. As each message is posted to the list it will be
sent to you, and you will receive a digest as well. This flag
should be used INSTEAD of digest, NOT IN ADDITION TO.
To stop receiving digests in addition to normal posts, send a
message to the ecartis account with a subject of "unset [listname]
digest2". You will go back to receiving normal posts.
TO FIND OUT WHO IS ON A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "who [listname]". You will receive a list of people subscribed
to the list who are not hidden. Admins will be able to see
everbody, including those hidden.
TO HIDE ON A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "set [listname] hidden". You will no longer appear on WHO
queries to the listserver. No one (except Admins) will know you
are subscribed to the list unless you post to it (in which case
those people on the list will know you posted if nothing else).
TO STOP HIDING ON A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "unset [listname] hidden". You will then show up on WHO
queries to the listserver.
TO GO ON VACATION:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "set [listname] vacation". You will remain subscribed to the
list but will not receive any eMail as long as this flag is set.
To come back from vacation, eMail the ecartis account with a
subject of "unset [listname] vacation".
TO CHECK ON YOUR OWN STATUS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "stats [listname]". You will get a list of all the flags
currently set on your account.
TO GET A LIST OF FLAGS AVAILABLE:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "flags". An eMail will be sent to you with the available flags
that you can set on your account.
TO GET A LIST OF COMMANDS AVAILABLE:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a subject
of "commands". An eMail will be sent to you with all the commands
that the server and any installed modules offer.
