Instructions<br />
Instructions: To be added to the EvolDir mailing list please send an email message to Golding@McMaster.CA. At<br />
this time provide a binary six letter code that determines which messages will be mailed to you. These are listed<br />
in the same order as presented here — Conferences; Graduate Student Positions; Jobs; Other; Post-doctoral<br />
positions; WorkshopsCourses. For example to receive the listings that concern conferences and post-doctoral<br />
positions this would be 100010. Messages are categorized on the basis of their subject headings. If this subject<br />
heading is not successfully parsed, the message will be sent to me at Golding@McMaster.CA. In addition, if it<br />
originates from ‘blackballed’ addresses it will be sent to me at Golding@McMaster.CA. These messages will only<br />
be read and dealt with when I have time. The code 000000 has all channels turned off and hence gets only a<br />
once monthly notifcation of the availability of a monthly review pdf file.<br />
To be removed from the EvolDir mailing list please send an email message to Golding@McMaster.CA. Note that<br />
‘on vacation’, etc, style messages are automatically filtered and should not be transmitted to the list (I hope),<br />
but should you wish to avoid the e-mail’s your code can be temporarily changed to 000000.<br />
To send messages to the EvolDir direct them to the email evoldir@evol.biology.McMaster.CA. Do not include<br />
encoded attachments and do not send it as Word files, as HTML files, as L ATEX files, Excel files, etc. . . . plain<br />
old ASCII will work great and can be read by everyone. Add a subject header that contains the correct category<br />
“Conference:, Graduate position:, Job:, Other:, Postdoc:, Workshop:” and then the message stands a better<br />
chance of being correctly parsed. Note that the colon is mandatory.<br />
The message will be stored until the middle of the night (local time). At a predetermined time, the collected<br />
messages will be captured and then processed by programs and filters. If the message is caught by one of the<br />
filters (e.g. a subject header is not correctly formated) the message will be send to me at Golding@McMaster.CA<br />
and processed later. In either case, please do not expect an instant response.<br />
Afterword<br />
This program is an attempt to automatically process a broad variety of e-mail messages. Most preformating is collapsed to save<br />
space. At the current time, many features may be incorrectly handled and some email messages may be positively mauled. Although<br />
this is being produced by LATEX do not try to embed LATEX or TEX in your message (or other formats) since my program will strip<br />
these from the message.
