<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>>
1. The Listowners are happy to announce that the CELIAC list now has
1,300 subscribers from 27 countries.
2. As we have previously reported, we have applied for USENET status so
that subscribers will have the choice of reading CELIAC posts either
as a newsgroup feed or in the current manner. Unfortunately, we
have not yet received confirmation of our acceptance as a newsgroup.
We continue to pursue this avenue, and will report back when further
news develops.
3. In the past few weeks a number of subscribers have made excellent
posts to the list which summarized the private replies they received
to prior posts. Thank you for sharing this information with all of
us!
4. Several listmembers have asked how to eliminate dual headers from
the posts they receive from the list. "Dual headers" are the three
lines with subject and sender information that the Listserv adds to
the body of each individual message. If your mail program readily
shows this information anyway, you can eliminate the duplicate
information added by the Listserv; just send in the body of an
email SET CELIAC SHORT to [log in to unmask]
5. We have begun the process of revising our FAQ (frequently asked
questions) file, with the assistance of several cherished
volunteers. As our work continues, we will post to the List any new
items of interest. If you are fluent in Spanish, French, German or
Italian we would love to get your help in creating foreign lanugage
versions of our FAQ. Please let us know.
6. The collection of quarterly postings from our respected experts has
been renamed. These files we previously called EXPERTyy. The
format now is EXPyy-q, where "yy" is the year and "q" is the
quarter. These files are now available:
CELIAC EXP94-4 Celiac experts postings in 1994,
CELIAC EXP95-1 Celiac experts postings in 1995, part 1
CELIAC EXP95-2 Celiac experts postings in 1995, part 2
CELIAC EXP95-3 Celiac experts postings in 1995, part 3
CELIAC EXP95-4 Celiac experts postings in 1995, part 4
CELIAC EXP96-1 Celiac experts postings in 1996, part 1
CELIAC EXPERTU Updates to postings from the experts
EXP95-4 and EXP96-1 are the recent additions and may be obtained by
sending to the LISTSERV:
GET CELIAC EXP95-4 CELIAC
GET CELIAC EXP96-1 CELIAC
7. The file containing Canadian telephone numbers for obtaining product
information was recently changed to reflect a few additions. It is
available by submitting to the LISTSERV:
GET CELIAC MFGCA CELIAC
8. A note for EUDORA users: When replying to a message for the entire
List, please use the REPLY feature not the RESEND feature of EUDORA.
Using RESEND creates two major problems: 1) There is no selective
quoting of the previous message; everything from the old message
appears to be part of your new message, and 2) For most mail
programs receiving your note, the reply address will be the original
sender, not your ID.
