| WHAT IS A LIST SERVER?:
A list allows discussions among a group of people, but instead of
sending a message to one person, you send the message to an e-mail
address for the list. The message is then redistributed to everyone
who reads (or subscribes) to the list. |
|
DIGESTS:
Mail lists can be busy places and some subscribers
may not have the time to deal with individual messages or may
prefer to receive groups of messages all at once. Digests address
this by collecting messages over a period of time and then sending
the group of messages in a single message. Subscribers to digests
receive the digest according a specific schedule(1 each day).
Each digest contains a table of contents at the top of the message.
The table of contents is derived from the subject of each message
in the digest.
|
| INDEX: A list index
message contains the same digest header, the table of contents (TOC)
listing all the messages in the digest, but it does not contain
the posted messages themselves. List index messages are created
at the same time the list digest messages are created. INDEX user
would use thier web browser to access the archive to read messages. |
|
SENDING MESSAGES: After
a user has subscribed to a list, they can send messages to the
list. The message is received by the list server and then sent
to all members of the list including the original author.
