Welcome to Mailbase (TM)
*******************
Mailbase is...
the UK's major electronic mailing list service which enables groups to
manage their own discussion topics (Mailbase lists) and associated files.
The service is run by a dedicated team based at Newcastle University,
and is funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the
Higher Education Funding Councils for England, Scotland and Wales.
If you are new to Mailbase you may find it useful to read through some
other Mailbase documents - particularly the User's Guide.
Other documents
For a list of on-line documentation about Mailbase, send the
following command in an e-mail message to:
mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk
index mailbase
You can then use the "send" command to retrieve those documents which
interest you.
Support from Mailbase
"help" returns a summary of the Mailbase commands. If the "command" option
is used then a more detailed description of a particular command is given.
Example: help review
Will return information on the command review.
If you have problems with Mailbase first look at the file of "frequently asked
questions". To retrieve this file send the following command to
mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk
send mailbase user-faq
If you still have a problem contact your List Owner, the address is:
listname-request@mailbase.ac.uk
where listname is the name of your chosen list.
For example to contact the List Owner for the list mac-dtp, the
address would be:
mac-dtp-request@mailbase.ac.uk

More than one command may appear in a message to Mailbase;
They may be in any order, in UPPER, lower, or MiXeD case.
If you normally terminate your e-mail messages with a signature,
please use "stop" after the final command sent to Mailbase.
As an example, if you wish to join an open list, then depending
upon the type of mail system your mail message should look
similar to the following.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

list address. You can see an example in the section Contributing
to List Discussions.
"Leave" will remove your name from a specified Mailbase list, or, if

Use "statistics" to obtain data on a specific Mailbase list if the

send command. The minimum line limit value is 1000.

adds short descriptions provided by List Owners.

If you have netnews access, there are a number of newsgroups for Windows NT:
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.admin.misc Windows NT system administration.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.admin.networking Windows NT network administration.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.advocacy Windows NT advocacy arguments.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.misc General discussion about Windows NT.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.pre-release Unreleased and beta Windows NT versions.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.setup Configuring Windows NT systems.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.setup.hardware Windows NT hardware setup.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.setup.misc Windows NT software setup.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.software.backoffice Windows NT BackOffice.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.software.compatibility Win NT software compatibility.
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.software.services Windows NT system services software.
One doesn't "join" them in the sense of asking somebody to let you join;
instead, one uses whatever command one's netnews reader supports to
"subscribe" to that group. They're not mailing lists like "sun-managers".
There may also be mailing lists for NT, but I don't know of any.

If your site has news check out the newsgroups. They are faster and
more active than mailing lists. And more fun too read. But no I
don't know of any that reaches Australia. There are some sites you
can e-mail for news articles but that is all. If I can help more
please e-mail.

Tricia,
I searched the Publicly_Accessible_Mailing_Lists FAQ from Usenet's news.lists.
I could not find a mailing list group on Windows NT. There probably is one,
though. Your best best is to read through the FAQs from comp.os.ms-windows.
You can get the FAQ at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.os.ms-windows.
Of course, if you have Usenet access, just join the discussion group there.
Cool nights,

Try sending in the body of a message to mailbase@mailbase.ac.uk:
add windows-nt
or subscribe windows-nt
I don't remember which one is valid. If you want to be sure, just
send
help
in the body.
