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, Bart De Pontieu <bdp@mpepl.plasma.mpe-garching.mpg.de>
