How to Receive HUMAN-GENOME-PROGRAM messages
--------------------------------------------
The HUMAN-GENOME-PROGRAM newsgroup can be received anywhere in the
world via USENET under the USENET name bionet.molbio.genome-program.
For those who need to receive messages by regular electronic mail
instead of through USENET news software, there are four distribution
points for the HUMAN-GENOME-PROGRAM newsgroup depending upon your
geographical and network locations:
1.) If you reside in the Americas, to subscribe to the
HUMAN-GENOME-PROGRAM bulletin board, please send a message to the
Internet address
biosci@genbank.bio.net
This address also serves American BITNET users.
2.) If you use the European Academic Research Network (EARN) and
live in Continental Europe or Ireland, you can subscribe automatically
to the newsgroup by sending a message containing the line
SUBSCRIBE GNOME+PR your_personal_name
to the address
LISTSERV@IRLEARN
(for example, SUBSCRIBE GNOME+PR Chris Smith). The Subject line of
the message should be left blank.
3.) If you reside in the United Kingdom, please send your
subscription request to
biosci@uk.ac.daresbury
4.) If you reside in Scandinavia (or in Continental Europe and have
Internet access), please send your subscription to
biosci@bmc.uu.se
If you do not fall into any of the above categories you may contact
whichever of the above sites is most convenient.
Posting Messages to the Bulletin Board
--------------------------------------
Once you have chosen your distribution point, you may post messages by
sending to the bulletin board address at that site. Note below the
shorter addresses used for BITNET/EARN/JANET sites.
