The APLA-list has been moved to LISTSERV software. When you first
subscribed to the list you received a welcome message with information
about how to post, unsubscribe, etc. using mailserv softward. PLEASE
DELETE IT and replace it with the following message.

Note especially that the APLA-list address is now [log in to unmask]
Also, you can now suppress messages while you are on vacation, get the
list in digest form, and conceal the fact that you are on the list - read
on.

From now on you have to be a member of the list in order to post to it.
This should cut down on SPAM.

                               NEW COMMANDS

To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just
send mail to [log in to unmask]

Please note that it is currently possible for other people to determine
that you are signed up to the list, via the "REVIEW"  command (returns the
