Mailing List Guidelines

      WinEdt Mailing List Guidelines
      ==============================

   These guidelines are sent to the WinEdt Mailing List once a month.
   Please keep them in mind when posting to the list.

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

* What To Post

   The WinEdt Mailing List is for questions about the WinEdt editor. You
   should  not post questions concerning LaTeX, MiKTeX, BibTeX et al. to
   the mailing list. WinEdt is a shell/editor for  LaTeX  etc.  and  the
   list  is  intended  to  answer questions concerning WinEdt, not LaTeX
   etc.
   (Sometimes it might be difficult  to  decide  whether  a  problem  is
   related to WinEdt or to MiKTeX, LaTeX etc. A rule of thumb is: If you
   are having the same  problems  when  running  the  program  from  the
   command line, it is NOT related to WinEdt.)

   A lot of questions are being asked over and over  again.  Check  that
   your question isn't already answered in the WinEdt FAQ at
      <http://www.winedt.org/Doc/FAQ>
   or in the mailing list archives at
      <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WinEdt>.

   When sending a question to the mailing list, try to be specific.
   Include (at least)
     + the Build number of your WinEdt (see "Help | About WinEdt...")
     + your operating system (e.g.: "Windows 2000, Service Pack 2")
     + a detailed description of the problem and how to reproduce it.

   If you have received one or more answers that  solved  your  problem,
   you  can  give  something  back  to the WinEdt community by writing a
   summary that can be integrated in the WinEdt FAQ. You can either send
   it to the list, or directly to the maintainer of the FAQ.

   Do NEVER post your registration key. Nobody needs to know it.

* How To Post

   Use plain-text format. Not everybody can (or wants to) read HTML.

   Use a meaningful subject line that will  make  sense  to  the  people
   whose help you are trying to get.

   Do not quote entire messages just to add a few lines at the beginning
   or  end.  Instead, quote the parts to which you are directly replying
   or quote enough to establish the context.
   Everybody on the list has already received the message that  you  are
   quoting,  and anyone searching the archive will find your message and
   the previous message listed under the same thread.

   Do not start a new thread by replying to  an  unrelated  message  and
   just  changing  the  subject  line.  For people who group messages by
   threading in their mailer, your  mail  will  appear  as  one  of  the
   replies  to the original message. It is better to start a new message
   for a new thread.

   The preferred language on the WinEdt Mailing List  is  English.  This
   does  not  imply disrespect to other languages, but simply guarantees
   the best possible communication as English is the language  that  the
   largest number of subscribers are able to understand.

   Since the WinEdt list has been used for unwittingly spreading viruses
   in  e-mail  attachments  in the past, all attachments will be removed
   from your mails. All relevant  documents  (if  any)  are  text  files
   anyway, which you can include in the body of your message.

   Do not request return receipts.

   If you are "out of office" and you want to set up  an  auto-responder
   for  your  e-mail  account,  please   unsubscribe   from   the   list
   temporarily!

* Unsubscribing + More

   To unsubscribe from the WinEdt Mailing List, send an empty  mail  to:
   <winedt+list-unsubscribe <at> wsg.net>  from  the  account  that  you  are
   subscribed with.

   DO NOT send a mail to the list! This will have no effect  apart  from
   annoying the subscribers.
