NIC Mail Services

   This is an automated service provided by the DDN Network Information
Center.  It allows access to NIC documents and information via ordinary
electronic mail.  This is especially useful for people who do not have
access to the NIC via a direct Internet link, such as BITNET, CSNET
and UUCP sites.

   To use the mail service, send a mail message to SERVICE@SRI-NIC.ARPA.
In the SUBJECT field, request the type of service you wish followed by
any needed arguments.  The message body is normally ignored.  Large files
will be broken into smaller separate messages.  The information you
request will be sent back to you as soon as possible.

The following services are currently available:

HELP		This message; a list of current services.
