mike%brl-vgr@sri-unix.UUCP (07/01/83)
From: Mike Muuss <mike@brl-vgr> Chris - The Digests are being sent to catch up on the backlog of mail, stuff which didn't get sent out when SRI-CSL was unable to send mail. 800Kbytes of mail accumulated, and I'm trying to get all the worthwhile messages out to the readership, without totally flooding them. I elected to do this by "digesting" the backlog, and releasing the digests a few at a time. Digests only go to InterNet subscribers; UUCP (USENET) people asked to be spared the phone bills on 800 Kbytes of extra traffic. Once the backlog is sent, only direct mailing will be used, to provide the most timely distribution of the material (not that I have the time to run another digest, anyways). Best, -Mike
