How can you subscribe to
the Transylvania Lobby discussion forum?
1. Send an empty
mail to Erdely-subscribe@onelist.com
or
2. Visit http://www.onelist.com/group/Erdely,
then click on the "Join community" button.
After subscription send your postings to Erdely@onelist.com please
add it on your address list (Outlook Express: Address Book, New
Contact).
I suggest you:
- to create a new folder with the "Transylvania"
name (Outlook Express: File, Folder, New),
- and to create a new message rule (Outlook Express: Tools,
Message Rules, Mail, New, Where the Subject line contains
[Erdely] Move it to the "Transylvania" folder),
in order to have all messages from this list in a separate
folder.
You can send your messages on the list in
any of the languages spoken in Transylvania: Hungarian,
Romanian, German, etc., but English is also welcome. My
dream is that you post your message in your mother
tongue, the text is processed by a software, and then is
sent to each list member in his/her language. "You
may say, I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one".
No file attachments are allowed;
Send your messages as "Plain
text", and not as HTML;
In order to display the Eastern-European
characters correctly, do the following:
When writing a new letter (Outlook Express:
New Message - Format - Encoding) please select the Central
European ISO or Windows character set.
Tools - Options - Send - Plain text settings - MIME Encode
text using: Quoted printable - Allow 8-bit characters in
headers? No (unchecked box).
The simpiest way is to specifiy in the Address Book for this
address - erdely@onelist.com
- the "Send E-mail using plain text only" option,
and thus you will be able to use HTML (colors, boldface,
italics, etc.) for other destinations.
Should you need further assistance, do not hesitate to
contact me (click on my name at the bottom).
If you know Hungarian or Romanian and you see
some strange combinations in stead of national chaacters,
e.g. =F6, =FC stb. (MIME codes) I suggest you to download the
