jr@BBN.COM (John Robinson) (10/07/89)
The time has come for me to resign my position of the last few years as the coordinator of the internet mail-list unix-emacs. As most of you out there probably know, this mailing list, which covers the internet and bitnet, is gatewayed both ways with the comp.emacs usenet newsgroup. I am passing the coordinator's torch to Manole Calamari at Tulane, <OPRBMVC@vm.tcs.tulane.edu>, who will henceforth be reachable as unix-emacs-request@vm.tcs.tulane.edu. To post to the list (from the internet or bitnet) send to Unix-emacs@Vm.tcs.tulane.edu. The capital V is not necessary; I don't know whether the capital U is but I doubt it (Manole, PLEASE correct me if this is wrong!). Manole has already been coordinating the bitnet half of the list. The two networks are now sewn together sufficiently at Tulane that he can provide list management for both networks together. He is running this from an IBM VM mail hub, which ought to impress you if you know about how VM mailers work! Mail sent to unix-emacs@bbn.com and unix-emacs-request@bbn.com will be automatically forwarded to vm.tcs.tulane.edu for the forseeable future. I will watch the traffic to make sure there aren't problems happening. This message will (I hope) be the first successful test of the new routing. Those of you reading this on comp.emacs who may be worried, don't. You can go on posting as you always have to comp.emacs. I will contact the various people about changing pointers to these lists. (Len - could you fix etc/MAILINGLISTS in the emacs dist?). /jr formerly: unix-emacs-request@bbn.com (Internet; Domainish) and bbn!unix-emacs-request (Usenet) now only: jr@bbn.com and bbn!jr
