and what lines they are researching, space is provided to post your
CAIN related queries permanently. This is free and open to all.
I only ask that you follow the directions for properly formatting
the query. More about this below.

time and is used to send messages to the list. They are described
in more detail below. Please read directions carefully. THANKS
=====================================================================
MAIL MODE or DIGEST MODE?
What is MAIL MODE?
"Mail mode" means that you will receive every posting made to this
list as a separate email message.

message a day with all of that days postings combined.

SOME SENSIBLE RULES:
-----------------------
Messages are limited to a size of 20k.
Please send any attachments via private mail.
PLEASE do NOT send attachments to the list.
Please note that replies to a message are sent to the sender and not
the list. Should you want to reply to the list, you will have to
manually change the address.
This is a small list with low volume so we probably can get by with
just the rules above.
======================================================================
