   This makes me wonder about those mail servers.  I don't use them 
myself, but I know some folks do.  I've only had limited experience with 
them.

   In the FAQ and AAR files, there is this listing:

   The following are FTP mail servers:
 
   -> Email: ftp...@decwrl.dec.com
 
   -> Email: ftp...@sunsite.unc.edu
 
   -> Email: bitftp@pucc


   What I want to know is, how do these work?  Do you just send a message 
with "help" or "info" in the subject or body?

   If somebody knows how to use these, please email me about it so I can 
put some info in the FAQ-AAR files.
