[Blumetakt@aol.com]

Hi Guys
So, I've done exactly as Joe asked but I'm still getting the following  
message. Correct me if I'm wrong, I send the e-mail to _Majordomo@obbard.com_ 
(mailto:Majordomo@obbard.com)  and in the BODY on  the e-mail NOT in the subject I 
type "subscribe tv" and hit send. 
 
That's what I've done as well as everyother which way I can and still I get  
this message.......I've never had so much trouble and can't remember having 
any  trouble when I first signed up years and years and years ago.....

**** Help for Majordomo@obbard.com:


This help  message is being sent to you from the Majordomo mailing list
management  system at Majordomo@obbard.com.

This is version 1.94.5 of  Majordomo.

If you're familiar with mail servers, an advanced user's  summary of
Majordomo's commands appears at the end of this  message.

Majordomo is an automated system which allows users to  subscribe
and unsubscribe to mailing lists, and to retrieve files from  list
archives.

You can interact with the Majordomo software by  sending it commands
in the body of mail messages addressed to  "Majordomo@obbard.com".
Please do not put your commands on the subject  line; Majordomo does
not process commands in the subject  line.

You may put multiple Majordomo commands in the same mail  message.
Put each command on a line by itself.

If you use a  "signature block" at the end of your mail, Majordomo may
mistakenly  believe each line of your message is a command; you will
then receive  spurious error messages.  To keep this from happening,
either put  a line starting with a hyphen ("-") before your signature,
or put a  line with just the word

end

on it in the same place.   This will stop the Majordomo software from
processing your signature as  bad commands.

Here are some of the things you can do using  Majordomo:

I. FINDING OUT WHICH LISTS ARE ON THIS SYSTEM

To  get a list of publicly-available mailing lists on this system, put  the
following line in the body of your mail message to  Majordomo@obbard.com:

lists

Each line will contain the name  of a mailing list and a brief description
of the list.

To get  more information about a particular list, use the "info"  command,
supplying the name of the list.  For example, if the name  of the list 
about which you wish information is "demo-list", you would  put the line

info demo-list

in the body of the mail  message.

II. SUBSCRIBING TO A LIST

Once you've determined  that you wish to subscribe to one or more lists on
this system, you can  send commands to Majordomo to have it add you to the
list, so you can  begin receiving mailings.

To receive list mail at the address from  which you're sending your mail,
simply say "subscribe" followed by the  list's name:

subscribe demo-list

If for some reason you wish  to have the mailings go to a different address
(a friend's address, a  specific other system on which you have an account,
or an address which  is more correct than the one that automatically appears 
in the "From:"  header on the mail you send), you would add that address to
the  command.  For instance, if you're sending a request from your  work
account, but wish to receive "demo-list" mail at your personal  account
(for which we will use "jqpublic@my-isp.com" as an example),  you'd put
the line

subscribe demo-list  jqpublic@my-isp.com

in the mail message body.

Based on  configuration decisions made by the list owners, you may be added 
to  the mailing list automatically.  You may also receive  notification
that an authorization key is required for  subscription.  Another message
will be sent to the address to be  subscribed (which may or may not be the
same as yours) containing the  key, and directing the user to send a
command found in that message  back to Majordomo@obbard.com.  (This can be
a bit of extra hassle,  but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra
email by someone who  forged requests from your address.)  You may also
get a message  that your subscription is being forwarded to the list owner
for  approval; some lists have waiting lists, or policies about who  may
subscribe.  If your request is forwarded for approval, the  list owner
should contact you soon after your request.

Upon  subscribing, you should receive an introductory message,  containing
list policies and features.  Save this message for  future reference; it
will also contain exact directions for  unsubscribing.  If you lose the
intro mail and would like another  copy of the policies, send this message
to  Majordomo@obbard.com:

intro demo-list

(substituting, of  course, the real name of your list for "demo-list").

III.  UNSUBSCRIBING FROM MAILING LISTS

Your original intro message  contains the exact command which should be
used to remove your address  from the list.  However, in most cases, you
may simply send the  command "unsubscribe" followed by the list name:

unsubscribe  demo-list

(This command may fail if your provider has changed the  way your
address is shown in your mail.)

To remove an address  other than the one from which you're sending
the request, give that  address in the command:

unsubscribe demo-list  jqpublic@my-isp.com

In either of these cases, you can tell  Majordomo@obbard.com to remove
the address in question from all lists  on this server by using "*"
in place of the list  name:

unsubscribe *
unsubscribe * jqpublic@my-isp.com

IV.  FINDING THE LISTS TO WHICH AN ADDRESS IS SUBSCRIBED

To find the  lists to which your address is subscribed, send this command
in the  body of a mail message to Majordomo@obbard.com:

which

You  can look for other addresses, or parts of an address, by specifying
the  text for which Majordomo should search.  For instance, to find  which
users at my-isp.com are subscribed to which lists, you might send  the
command

which my-isp.com

Note that many list owners  completely or fully disable the "which"
command, considering it a  privacy violation.

V. FINDING OUT WHO'S SUBSCRIBED TO A  LIST

To get a list of the addresses on a particular list, you may  use the
"who" command, followed by the name of the list:

who  demo-list

Note that many list owners allow only a list's  subscribers to use the
"who" command, or disable it completely,  believing it to be a privacy
violation.

VI. RETRIEVING FILES  FROM A LIST'S ARCHIVES

Many list owners keep archives of files  associated with a list.  These
may include:
- back issues of  the list
- help files, user profiles, and other documents associated  with the list
- daily, monthly, or yearly archives for the  list

To find out if a list has any files associated with it, use  the "index"
command:

index demo-list

If you see files in  which you're interested, you may retrieve them by
using the "get"  command and specifying the list name and archive filename.
For  instance, to retrieve the files called "profile.form" (presumably  a
form to fill out with your profile) and "demo-list.9611" (presumably  the
messages posted to the list in November 1996), you would put the  lines

get demo-list profile.form
get demo-list  demo-list.9611

in your mail to Majordomo@obbard.com.

VII.  GETTING MORE HELP

To contact a human site manager, send mail to  Majordomo-Owner@obbard.com.
To contact the owner of a specific list,  send mail to that list's
approval address, which is formed by adding  "-approval" to the user-name
portion of the list's address.  For  instance, to contact the list owner
for demo-list@obbard.com, you would  send mail to 
demo-list-approval@obbard.com.

To get another copy of  this help message, send mail to Majordomo@obbard.com
with a line  saying

help

in the message body.
