[BLDG-SIM] An eQUEST mailing list?

[Jason Glazer]

To get one message per day that is a digest of all of the 
days emails, send an email to

    mdaemon at gard.com

with a blank subject line and the following line in the body 
of the message:

    DIGEST bldg-sim at gard.com

To stop getting digests and get each message individually 
send the following line to the same address

    NORMAL bldg-sim at gard.com

When you subscribe to the digest, you will get one message 
per day with all of the messages sent that day one after 
another. The subject line will look like:

[BLDG-SIM] BLDG-SIM at GARD.COM message digest 09/26/2007 03:01 
(#2007-1027)

Because of this, when replying to a message, please use the 
subject line from the specific message. The digest subject 
line has no meaning and will not help others.

Also, at times, message formats will not be converted 
properly and a specific digest message will not be readable. 
I cannot fix that problem.

Please let me know if you have any problems with this.
