Using the new Email 'gateway' to retrieve information

Perhaps our biggest obstacle with this new effort is the fact that the 
majority of our potential audience does not have direct access to the 
international network and cannot access our WWW server material -- either 
directly (via a client 'browser' like Mosaic) or indirectly (by telnetting 
to our computer and using our 'friends' account). 

We have just recently completed implementation of an email gateway so that 
subscribers to the FRIENDS listserver can now obtain information from the 
WWW server by submitting email requests. 

The directions for doing this are as follows: 

* Send a message to listproc@solar.rtd.utk.edu 
with the following format:

run friends none http solar.rtd.utk.edu/friends/home.html 

* In return, you will receive via email the requested document. The only 
portion of this command line that you will want to modify is the 
"solar.rtd.utk.edu/friends/home.html" portion. Any documents you wish to 
retrieve from the F&P server should be prefaced with 
"solar.rtd.utk.edu/friends/". Thus, if you see a reference to a file 
called "stats/940131.html", give the command: 

run friends none http solar.rtd.utk.edu/friends/stats/940208.html 

in order to retrieve the file.

* Please note that the material you will receive will contain the imbedded 
hypertext markup language (HTML) commands (kind of ugly stuff but it is 
wh= at
makes the text look nice on the WWW server). We will soon be providing a 
'filter' program which will automatically remove most of the HTML before a 
document is mailed to you.
