[fa.telecom] Individual messages vs. digests - administrivia

JSOL@MIT-XX.ARPA (Jon Solomon) (09/20/85)

The mechanism for allowing users to receive individual messages
for TELECOM is now in place. If you are receiving this message separately,
then you are subscribing to the individual service. If you receive this
in the Digest, you are receiving Digest service.

Currently only the digests will be archived. I may at some later
time come up with a method of retrieving individual messages from
the archives (about the same time as we have automated -REQUEST service
for additions, deletions, and name changes -- Someone should submit
an RFC on this). If you have any ideas about this, send them to
TELECOM-REQUEST@MIT-XX.ARPA.

We anticipate no problems in getting TELECOM out to you folks, and have
taken steps to improve error recovery (I now save the input for about
a month in case something happens and I need to regenerate a digest),
so if you do notice sporadic service, please send mail to TELECOM-REQUEST
explaining the difficulty.

Enjoy,
--JSol
