Subject:Re: You have been added to the vanagon list, problems
From:william greenamyer

Still having a problem logging in.  It comes back with invalid password.
The email address used should be greenamyer@yahoo.com.  I was able to set
the nomail command but I think that the email address is tied the the one I
am sending you this message from (wgreenamyer@ciso.com) since I keep all of
my logs and records at this email address.  I do most of my general email
activity at the yahoo email address.  I thought that the password was at
that email address but it doesn't appear to have taken for either email
address.

Subject: You have been added to the vanagon list

Fri, 4 Jun 2010 13:36:14

You  have been  added  to the  vanagon mailing  list  (Vanagon &  EuroVan
discussion list) by Jim Arnott <jr.arnott@GMAIL.COM>.

Please SAVE THIS MESSAGE for future  reference, especially if this is the
first time you subscribe to an  electronic mailing list. If you ever need to
leave the  list,  you  will find  the  necessary instructions  below.
Perhaps  more importantly,  saving a  copy of  this message  (and of  all
future subscription notices  from other mailing lists) in  a special mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you
are subscribed  to. This may  prove very useful the  next time you  go on
vacation and  need to leave  the lists temporarily so  as not to  fill up
your  mailbox while  you  are away!  You should  also  save the  "welcome
messages" from the  list owners that you will  occasionally receive after
subscribing to a new list.

For a lot  of information about Vanagons and EuroVans,  see the web pages

One  of the  great things  about the  Vanagon mailing  list is  the large
quantity of information exchanged by the  members. In order to ensure the
availability of this information, submitters  to the vanagon mailing list
agree to  grant the  list managers  the right  to printed  and electronic
distribution of  submitted articles into compilations.  List managers and
their  agents also  have the  right to  make edits  which, in  their sole
opinion, improve the clarity of  the submission. Submitters warrant that, as
far as  they know,  they have  the right  to submit  the material  in
question  for publication.  All  articles are  considered copyrighted  by
their authors.

Submitters who  do not wish  to grant this  license, or who  prefer their
material be excluded  from such publications, may decline  this waiver by
including the following phrase at the bottom of their message:

   "All Rights Reserved."

(Note that  since postings will be  culled by software, the  spelling and
capitalization of this phrase must be exact.)

Any  profits  from list  compilations  will  go exclusively  towards  the
management and operation of the  Vanagon mailing list and vanagon mailing
list web site.

+------------------+
|  List Etiquette  |
+------------------+

As a  curiosity and a  service to  the electronic community,  Joel Walker
(uncajoel@bellsouth.net)  is compiling  a list  of where  the bricks  are
electronically and geographically.  If you have not already  done so, and
you don't mind  that being public information, please send  him an e-mail
with make,  model and location. Read  these posts to the  bottom, because
that's where the most current URLs are (instead of here).

Due to the volume on the Vanagon list and the multigenerational nature of
the discussions, it would  be a great help if you  would make the subject of
your message explicit to what model(s)  and year(s) or era of van that the
message pertains to. For example:

   "Eurovan rear hatch won't latch"   "91 Camper stove problem"
   "87 Syncro Clutch Problems"        "83-H20 engine temperature"

Often messages refer to trips, tools or other general topics. These types of
messages are of course meant for  the whole list and a subject without a
particular van type is expected.

Fridays are a day when people do fun things on the list. These things may
actually  not  be Vanagon  related,  but  we  strongly encourage  it.  To
indicate that a posting is in fun  and may not be of technical value, you
should preface or suffix your subject  with /f [f] or (F). Anyone without a
sense of humor should delete these messages without reading them.

The vanagon mailing list has been around for a while and its citizens are
fairly net.savvy. Bear  that in mind before you forward  something to the
list. In particular, please avoid the following:
   o  Messages containing cookie recipes.
   o  Craig Shergold or any kid dying of cancer who wants to live
      forever in e-mail
   o  Forwarded messages with LOTS OF CAPITALS AND EXCLAMATION
      POINTS!!!!!
   o  Any virus warning which says you can get a virus just by reading
      an e-mail message, especially if the virus-carrying message always
      has the same subject.
   o  Any virus warning already listed as a hoax at any of the following
      sites:

           http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html
           http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html
           http://www.kumite.com/myths/

   o  The Internet AIDS Infection Experiment or any Internet Experiment

   o  Why Computers Are Like Men/Women
   o  Petitions
   o  Good-luck charms
   o  Any Chain Letter, especially if it's already listed at:

           http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACChainLetters.html

   o  Dire warnings or actions alerts like Save Sesame Street!, Kidney
      Thieves, Airport laptop thieves, 806 pager scams, FCC Internet Tax,
      Lexis-Nexis P-Trax database, rec.music.white-power, etc. Basically,
      anything telling the whole world to send e-mail somewhere or take
      some action, but doesn't tell you what day (and year) to stop.
      Stop forwarding hysteria!
   o  Content-free ping tests
   o  Messages with more forwards than actual text
   o  Posting private email to the whole list without permission
   o  A reply to a previous Vanagon list posting, quoting all six
      hundred lines, when all you wanted to do was respond to the last
      three

Sending this sort of thing to the  Vanagon list will make you look like a
novice, and  will bring  the administrator's  sarcasm crashing  down upon
your head.

In order to  defeat spammers, the roster of subscribers  for this mailing
list is generally not available. If  you have a legitimate requirement to
see    the    roster,    write    to   one    of    the    list    owners
(vanagon-request@GERRY.VANAGON.COM).

Please refrain from profanity or pushing  other's buttons on the list. We
try very hard  to get along. Censorship will be  enacted for those unable to
control themselves. Thanks for your cooperation.

+----------------------------+
|  Sending mail to the list  |
+----------------------------+

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the list,
just send mail to
                        vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM

This is  called "sending mail  to the list", because  you send mail  to a
single address  and ListServ  makes copies  for all  the people  who have
subscribed. This  address 'vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM' is also  called the
'list address'. You  must never try to send any  command to that address, as
it  would be distributed  to all the  people who have  subscribed. All
commands     must    be     sent    to     the    'ListServ     address',
LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM.  It  is  very  important  to  understand  the
difference between  the two, but  fortunately it is not  complicated. The
ListServ address  is like a  FAX number that  connects you to  a machine,
whereas the list address is like a  normal voice line connecting you to a
person.

+--------------------+
|  Leaving the list  |
+--------------------+

You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF vanagon" command to
LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM.

+----------------------------+
|  Getting acknowledgements  |
+----------------------------+

You can  also tell  ListServ how you  want it to  confirm the  receipt of
messages you send to  the list. By default, new users  are sent copies of
the messages they send  to the list. If you don't  want these copies send to
you,  send a  "SET vanagon  NOREPRO" command  and ListServ  won't send them.
If you send a "SET vanagon ACK NOREPRO" command, ListServ will mail you a
short acknowledgement instead,  which will look different  in your mailbox
directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this is an
acknowledgement you can  read later. Finally, you can turn off
acknowledgements completely with "SET vanagon NOACK NOREPRO".

+------------+
|  Archives  |
+------------+

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX vanagon" command to
LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM. You can then order these files with a "GET
vanagon LOGxxxx" command, or using ListServ's database search facilities.
Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter.

Web archives are available at:
    http://gerry.vanagon.com/archives/vanagon.html

+-----------+
|  Digests  |
+-----------+

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive  the
digested  version  of the  postings,  just  issue  a SET  vanagon  DIGEST
command.

+--------------------------+
|  More ListServ commands  |
+--------------------------+

More  information on  ListServ  commands  can be  found  in the  ListServ
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO  REFCARD"
command to LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM.

Enjoy the list!
