Digest support

[coder at ibm.net]

This list now supports digests.  To subscribe to the digest version of
the list, send a message to listadmin at null.net with a body of
"subscribe mud-dev-digest".  If you are already a member of the list
and want to change your subscription to digest mode you can send a
message to listadmin at null.net to do that:

  From: <you>
  To: listadmin at null.net
  
  subscribe mud-dev-digest
  unsubscribe mud-dev

If any questions or problems with this, please email me directly at
coder at ibm.net or claw at null.net.

In light of the new digest support I've changed the recommended
membership invitation to suit:

Subject: MUD Design list invitation

<Insert reason for invitation>
Would you like to join the MUD Design mailing list?

The MUD Design list is not platform, language or game specific, but
concentrates on discussing the design and implementation of any and
all MUD servers and systems.  Another large related topic is game
design. This does not mean that the details of a specific server or
game design point can't be discussed in excruciating detail, or even
that server or game source can't be bandied about and picked over,
just that the list isn't to become a religious stomping ground for
your platform, language, server, or hobby horse of choice.

The goal is high signal, low noise.  The MUD Design list is not an
email version of the rec.games.mud.* newsgroups.

Membership is by invitation only.  Any existant member may invite
anyone they feel would actively participate in and benefit the list.
New members are entrusted to participate in the list for a while,
getting a feel for the list, its members, and the discussions and
behaviour that go on there, before inviting others to join.  Please
raise any doubts or questions regarding potential new members either
on the list, or with the list owner at coder at ibm.net.

Please don't publicise the list on newsgroups or other mailing lists.

To subscribe, send a message to listadmin at null.net with a message body
of "subscribe mud-dev".  The system will acknowledge once you are
subscribed (may take a day or two).  Once subscribed, send postings to
mud-dev at null.net. Please email list related questions to the list
owner at coder at ibm.net.

eg.

  From: <you>
  To: listadmin at null.net

  subscribe mud-dev

A daily digest mode is also available for the list.  Just change your
subscription message to "subscribe mud-dev-digest".

eg.

  From: <you>
  To: listadmin at null.net

  subscribe mud-dev-digest
