For those of you wondering what Bill is talking about, his message about
a possible Usenet newsgroup devoted to satellite observing was intended
to go on UseSat-L, a new temporary mailing list devoted to discussions
about the above.
Please don't follow-up to Bill's message on SeeSat-L, but follow-up on
UseSat-L.
You can subscribe to UseSat-L by sending a message with subject 'subscribe'
to UseSat-L-request@iris01.plasma.mpe-garching.mpg.de

On another topic, thanks Rainer for decoding the 'base64' encoded message
which appeared yesterday. Rainer correctly states that we do not want any
kind of encoded/binary message on SeeSat-L. Several people have told me
that with their e-mail software it's sometimes hard to know whether what
you send is encoded or not, esp. if one sends attachments. So, please be
careful when you send something to SeeSat-L, it gets forwarded to more than
280 subscribers, not all of whom are thrilled to receive messages that are
to them undecodable.

Cheers,
