RRE frequently asked questions
``` [Some people have told me that they've lost the message that the RRE server sent them when they first subscribed. I'm enclosing it here, and I'm hoping that you'll consider saving it so you'll know how to unsubscribe someday, among other things. Thanks a lot.]

Welcome to the Red Rock Eater News Service. This message contains some notes about RRE. You might want to hang onto it for future reference.
As a subscriber to RRE, you will receive periodic messages from the editor. The normal traffic on RRE is perhaps five messages per week. I make a good faith effort to ensure that the materials I send to RRE are free of copyright restrictions, and unless I indicate otherwise you are most welcome to pass these messages along in electronic form to anybody you like for any non-commercial purpose. Before publishing a message in printed form or redistributing it for profit, though, you should make a serious attempt to check with the original creator of the message. A fair amount of copyrighted information is floating around the Internet in mutant forms.
Please note that neither I nor UCSD nor anyone else necessarily endorse anything that I send to RRE.
Many of the more useful messages from the RRE News Service are available in the RRE Archive. To find out about the Archive, send a message that looks like this:
To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu Subject: archive help
To receive an annotated index to the Archive, send a message like this:
To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu Subject: archive send index
To end your subscription to the RRE News Service, send a message like this:
To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu Subject: unsubscribe
A special note. You might have subscribed to RRE in order to receive an on-line newsletter called The Network Observer (TNO). TNO is indeed distributed through RRE, but so are numerous other interesting things. If you don't wish to receive those other things, you can remove yourself from RRE by using the instructions in the previous paragraph. You can retrieve past issues of TNO by sending messages that look like this:
To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu Subject: archive send tno-january-1994
Or you can use WWW at http://communication.ucsd.edu/pagre/tno.html
If you change to a new electronic mailing address and want your RRE subscription to follow you, please send an "unsubscribe" message to rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu from the old address and then send a "subscribe" message from the new address, like so:
To: rre-request@weber.ucsd.edu Subject: subscribe firstname lastname
If you have trouble using the RRE News Service, send us a note at rre-maintainers@weber.ucsd.edu. Describe your difficulty in as much detail as you can and enclose the complete text, including all of the obscure headers, of any error messages or any other messages that don't seem right. We'll have a look and get back to you as soon as we can.
The RRE News Service is a filter, not a discussion list. It is rigged so that only its editor can send messages to it. If you have a message or file that might be of broad interest, feel free to send it along to rre-maintainers@weber.ucsd.edu and we'll check it out.
Thanks a lot.
