As the Munich LMU's Projektforum Mittelalter & Frühe Neuzeit now has its own WWW-server, current information about its email distribution list 600bis1600 has been migrated to that server (URL: http://www.mittelalter.lmu.de/mail_eng.htm).
Updates to the document you a reading now will stop 2003-11-21. Ca. 2004-05-21 links to this document will be deleted from our institution's homepage. Ca. 2004-08-21 the document you are reading now will cease to exist. Thus: Please: Adjust your bookmarks so that they point to the version hosted on the Projektforum's server. Thanks in advance!
hck@lrz.uni-muenchen.de600bis1600 for other reasons. Thanks!The email-distribution-list 600bis1600 serves the persons who are affiliated to or interested in Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München's Projektforum Mittelalter und Frühe Neuzeit (rather informal centre for mediaeval and early modern studies) to exchange and distribute information, announcements, questions, answers, etc. etc. pp. which are in some way connected to or relevant for subjects, texts, artefacts, processes, persons and/or institutions of the period from ca. AD 600 to ca. AD 1600. Anybody can participate. I.e.: You don't have to be a member of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in order to participate in an active way (via posting) or in a passive way (via reading/lurking) or in both ways.
Most of the postings will be in German, but postings in other languages are welcome as well.
The server distributing the postings is run by Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ) (joint computing centre for the Bavarian academy of sciences and humanities and the Munich universities), and it uses the Majordomo software. Heinrich C. Kuhn of Seminary for Renaissance Intellectual History and Renaissance Philosophy serves as a "human interface".
Fortunately up to now we have not been confronted with manifest misuse of the list (e.g. by "Trolls" or unsolicited commercial information [aka "SPAM"]); however: in case we should encounter any such (or other) manifest misuse of the list, the listmoderator is entitled and willing to use potentially appropriate technical (and/or other) remedies.
Once you are subscribed to the list: Please: when replying to a message that has been distributed to those subscribed: please consider whether you really want to send your response to all those who are subscribed (via sending it to 600bis1600@lists.lrz-muenchen.de), or whether perhaps it might be more appropriate to send your response just and only to the person to whose mail you are replying (via sending it e.g. to E.Xemplum@pfmafnz.uni-muenchen.de); when responding to invitations to talks, events etc. in most cases the second option might have its advantages … .
According to our 2002 experiences you might expect to receive some one (1) mail per week via this distribution list (a few more during term, a few less during the inter term vacations …).
In order to subscribe: send an email to majordomo@lists.lrz-muenchen.de
with the text subscribe 600bis1600

as the first two lines of the body of that mail.
That's it.
In order to unsubscribe: send an email to majordomo@lists.lrz-muenchen.de
with the text unsubscribe 600bis1600
as the first line of the body of that mail.
The root will respond that it did unsubscribe you. And it will perhaps add, that it did not quite understand the rest of your mail.
In order to send mail to those subscribed to the list: send your email to 600bis1600@lists.lrz-muenchen.de. (You have to be subscribed to be able to send mail via this list).
In order to avoid as far as possible that "external" advertisements unrelated to the middle ages and/or the renaissance (or even worse: computer viruses) are distributed via 600bis1600: there are a few restrictions and restraints:
subsribe, unsubscribe etc.). Workarounds: use of alternative vocabulary, intentional use of typos, use of hyphens within the command, … . Sorry! Responsible: Dr. Heinrich C. Kuhn
