Dear All, Following the UK Webmasters meeting last Wednesday (29 November, 1995) (see http://chemistry.rsc.org/rsc/web_mtg.htm) there appeared general agreement that we should set up an e-mail list to serve the following functions 1. To continue discussion of themes that emerged during the meeting 2. To enable us to plan further events 3. To act as a distribution point for information about chemical applications of the web in general. Whilst it is possible for me to subscribe against the list of e-mail addresses I have been given, experience shows that unless you send messages to the list from precisely the address you have been subscribed as, they will not be processed. I think it is safer if I take the liberty of asking you all to subscribe yourselves. That way, we can be sure the system will work as intended. If you wish to join this list therefore, might I ask you to send a one line message (ie no signature files please!) to listserver@ic.ac.uk with the form; subscribe chemweb your name (where your and name can be your first and last names, or any other permutation). If you decide to leave the list, please send another message unsubscribe chemweb
From the same e-mail address as you used to subscribe. If your e-mail changes in the future, I am afraid you will have to unsubscribe the old one (before it stops working) and resubscribe using the new one. To send to the list (as opposed to subscribe to the list), send messages to;
chemweb@ic.ac.uk PLEASE NOTE this is different from the subscribing address. All musings of this list will be archived under http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/chemweb/ For anyone who has actually read as far as this, might I encourage everyone to add a clear and concise subject to any new "thread", since hypermail uses this to construct order out of the messages. If you reply, please do not change the subject, since this will then be treated as a new thread.
