!MailMan/ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
This is MailMan, version 0.20 (09-Dec-88) Documentation on how to use MailMan can be found in the Archimedes User's Guide, Issue 2. The following remarks should be noted about this version of MailMan and its documentation. On a serious network error, such as 'Line jammed', the MailMan can consume all of the processor time. This will sort itself out soon after the network recovers. The only way out if the network doesn't recover is to use ctrl-break. There is only one choices file per copy of MailMan. So, if several users on a network all share a copy of MailMan, loaded from a fileserver, then they will get the same choices for the mail settings. A way round this is to set the mail variables with *set (for example, in a boot sequence) BEFORE loading MailMan. This works because the variable settings in the choices file are ignored if the variable is already set.
