IMAP
MIDnet now provides "IMAP" access to all contributions mailed to the
net-happenings mailing list. This means if you have a mail client that
is imap-compliant (i.e., pine), you may read the latest articles off
MIDnet's IMAP server. By offering this kind of access, you don't have to
subscribe to net-happenings yourself, just rely on MIDnet to provide you
the articles. The format for accessing an IMAP server is:
*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/net/yy-mm-dd
where you replace yy with "94", mm with "11", "10", etc and dd with "01",
"11", etc.
For example, after you press "g" in pine (for the "go-to" command), you
would enter the above string like this:
*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/net/94-11-21
NOTE: if you receive a message stating host not found, check with your
system admin to see if they have implemented imap on the system
you are using
If imap is implemented on your system, you will receive something like
the following:
1 Dec 12 Gleason Sackman SOFT> netbook7.zip interactive web browser
2 Dec 12 Gleason Sackman SOFT> geo-gw 1.0: Gateway to the Geopgraphy
3 Dec 12 Gleason Sackman NEWSLTR> LFA (Live from Antaractica)
You may now use Pine to read these as you would any other mail.
Please keep in mind that these are _READ_ only. You _cannot_ delete them
since they are at the MIDnet site.
