Bringing valuable information to you.
SCOUG maintains several mailing lists to keep you up-to-date between
meetings. If you are unfamiliar with mailing lists, please read this
tutorial. In addition to subscribing to the email
lists (described below), you can also view the
archives maintained for each list.
SCOUG-ANNOUNCE is for periodic announcements such
as upcoming meetings. This list does not permit posting.
SCOUG-CHAT is a forum for announcements about SCOUG chat meetings as well as the tools for participating in the chats.
SCOUG-GENERAL is for general discussion between members
between meetings. Everyone is welcome to post to this list.
SCOUG-HELP is an open discussion list for asking questions about using, installing and configuring OS/2.
SCOUG-INTERNET provides lively discussion of Internet issues
commonly discussed at SIG meetings.
SCOUG-PROGRAMMING includes discussion on SIG projects and
general OS/2 programming.

That's it! You will receive a confirmation message by email.
A Brief Introduction to Mailing Lists
A mailing list is a convenient way for a group of people to keep in
touch. Individuals subscribe to a list to indicate that they are
interested in receiving email messages about the topic of the list.
When a member sends an email to the list (such as
scoug-general@scoug.com), the email is sent to all of the members of
the list.
To subscribe and unsubscribe from a list, send messages to
steward@scoug.com. Commands are placed in the body of the message. For
example, consider the following message:
<![CDATA[
To: Steward@scoug.com
From: john.doe@nowhere.com
HELP
]]>
Steward will respond with an email message listing all of the other
commands you can use. The two commands you will most likely use is
SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE. These commands allow you to add and remove
yourself from an email list.
To send a message to the list (so everyone on the list will receive
it), address your email to scoug-general@scoug.com and write your message
as you normally would.
