Fox Mustang Mailing List Information Page

fox-mustangs@moose.nstn.ca

The Fox-Mustangs Mailing List is a open to all enthusiasts of the Fox Mustangs from 1979 through 1993. Ownership is not required to join the list. This list is designed to provide a forum for sharing information on 1979-1993 Mustangs. The mailing list is supported by the e-mail distribution list software called listserv, which provides automated administrative commands via e-mail. The listserv server's e-mail address is listserv@moose.nstn.ca. Please make note that this address is different than that of the actual Fox-Mustangs Mailing List's address.

The Fox-Mustangs Mailing List is closed to non-members, which means that only subscribed members can post notes to the list itself. This tends to eliminate unwanted, mass solicitations, spamming and other junk-mail type messages that are common on the Internet. The Fox-Mustangs Mailing List operates in two modes: live and digest. The live mode simply reposts each and every message directly to all subscribed members, just as it was sent to the Fox-Mustangs list. The digest mode collects & stores all the posts, and mails out a digest note when the total message size accumulates to more than 50,000 characters, or at least once every day. This digest version contains all of the same information as the live version does, but it is contained within one single message.

In order to send a command to the listserv server, you must put the command in the BODY of your message. Do not put any other information in the BODY, such as you signature file or other comments.
