[comp.windows.x] Addendum on andrew newsgroup

nsb+@andrew.cmu.edu (Nathaniel Borenstein) (02/10/89)

Several people have suggested "it might be good to try a mailing list first".  I
should have mentioned:

There already is an info-andrew mailing list (requests ->
info-andrew-request@andrew.cmu.edu).  It currently has approximately 200
subscribers, at nearly that many sites.  Many of them have indicated that they
would prefer a newsgroup, either to avoid overloading their mailbox or because
their email connections are less reliable than their netnews connections.

Actually, one of the advantages of the mailing list is that you can choose to
subscribe to it in either multimedia or "stripped" format.  I presume that the
newsgroup will not, at least for a while, permit multimedia messages.

Hey!  We want multi-media in the newsgroup!
