This is a mailing list for users of the freely available TIFF software.
All messages sent to this list are immediately forwarded to
members of the list.

All messages to the list are being archived. Copies of the archive are
available by anonymous FTP from the host sgi.com, in the directory
"graphics/tiff". The mailing list archive files have names that
reflect the time-period that they cover. File names are of the form:

archive.begin-end.Z


where begin and end are dates of the form YYMMMDD, with MMM a 3-letter
month name (capitalized), DD a 2-digit day of the month, and YY the
last 2 digits of the year. For example, archive.93May25-93Jun14.Z is
the archive of all correspondence on the flexfax mailing list between
May 25, 1993 and June 14, 1993. The data in the file are compressed
with the UNIX compress(1) program (thus the .Z suffix). New archive
files are started for each ~10,000 lines of correspondence. The
archives are updated every night at midnight local time (0700 GMT in
the summer, 0800 GMT in the winter).

Users without anonymous FTP access should use "ftpmail" services to
retrieve archive files. To find out more about one ftpmail service,
send a message to "ftpmail@gatekeeper.dec.com" whose body consists of
the single line "help".

Bounced email is treated very aggressively on this list. If email to you
bounces for more than 24 hours, you'll probably be moved from this list
to a "bounces" list, where you'll get a message daily telling you what's
happened and how to get back on to this list; you'll then have to retrieve
the archives to find out what you missed.
