Searching the archives - KEEP THIS HANDY if you don't already kn ow how

[Soady, Phil]

The posts are stored on a list server:
So to find things, you must send 2 simple COMMANDS to the listserver
 
 
STEP 1: FIND the posts of interest.
To search the archive for a entries from a specific user group (SAP-WUG)
send and email to
 
SENDTO: LISTSERV at MITVMA.MIT.EDU
with command in the body of the mail
 
SEARCH SAP-WUG <search term>
 
 
 
Where SEARCH is the command
      SAP-WUG is the user group mail list
      <search term>  is the string describing the topic you require additional information on.
 
You will receive an email with a list of  postings that contain that search term.
eg
> search sap-wug transport
>
>
> -> 100 matches (more available).
>
> Item #   Date   Time  Recs   Subject
> ------   ----   ----  ----   -------

> 000310 00/05/31 09:36   74   Re: Released vs. implemented Methods/Objects
> 000333 00/06/06 04:27   59   Re: Released vs. implemented Methods/Objects
 
 
STEP 2: Fetch the post of interest:
 send email to
 
MAILTO: LISTSERV at MITVMA.MIT.EDU
 
with the content
 
GETPOST SAP-wug nnn
 
where nnn is the item number from the mail received in step 1.
 
 
PLEASE NOTE:  You are sending mails to LISTSERV at MITVA.MIT.EDU
              not the group itself     SAP-WUG at MITVA.MIT.EDU
