Below is a section from the welcome message you received when you
subscribed to this list It has been some time since I read it.
This message will be prominantly displayed in the saloon by the piano
player (sent on a sometimes monthly basis).

//////////////////////////////////////
Please keep a copy of these instructions. You will need them if you
want to unsubscribe, or change from/to the digest version of the list.
Posting articles
----------------
To send articles to the list (or digest), address them to:
omega-list@xxxxxxxxxx
Send your article to this address even if you are subscribed to the digest.
Please include a subject line with your article that will
allow it to be easily found later in the list archives.
Subscription requests
---------------------
All subscription or unsubscription requests should be mailed either to:
omega-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx
or to:
omega-digest-request@xxxxxxxxxx
depending on whether you want to subscribe or unsubscribe to/from
the real-time list or the digest version of the list. The content
of both lists is the same, but the digest is sent roughly once a day.
In your mail's Subject: line, say either subscribe or unsubscribe.
You will be asked to confirm your intention to subscribe, to prevent
your being maliciously subscribed to unwanted lists.
You will be removed from the list or digest immediately upon receipt
of an unsubscribe request. You will receive a notice saying you have
been unsubscribed; no further action is necessary.
To change your subscription from the list to the digest, unsubscribe
yourself from the list, and resubscribe to the digest.
Please note, you will receive a note saying you were not removed from
the list if you are subscribed to the digest and try to unsubscribe
from the list.
Rejected mail
-------------
The list server will automatically unsubscribe anyone whose mail
cannot be delivered. You will be sent a notice explaining that you
were unsubscribed, but of course, if your account is not functioning
to receive email you may not receive the notice.
Many list subscribers cannot receive mail with 8-bit characters.
If your signature or other parts of your message has any of
these characters, these subscribers will not receive your articles.
Commercial Messages
-------------------
Please do not use this list to sell your phenomenal trading system.
If you have a product that helps solve a specific problem posed by
a list member, you may mention it in that context, but you must be
brief and specific. If in doubt, send your potential post to the
list's maintainer, jimo@xxxxxxxxxx, to see if it's appropriate.
Digest Archive
--------------
The most recent fifteen digests are available, as a single mail
folder, via ftp from: ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/j/jimo/
in the file: digests. A list of the digest numbers in the digests
file is in the file: dindex.
Etiquette
---------
This list is for the discussion of issues important to professional
traders, people who earn their living trading in the financial
markets. It was started as a forum for the ad hoc support of users,
by users, of Omega Research Corporation's Tradestation software.
Later, users of Supercharts and System Writer joined the fray.
Please note, though, that Omega Research has no official connection
with the list, and neither approves nor sponsors the content.
Occasionally a member of the Omega team may listen in, and perhaps
contribute, but not in any official capacity.
Although the list was started with an Omega support function in mind,
list members frequently discuss other, non-Omega related trading
topics. Any subject is welcome, as long as it is pertains directly to
serious trading.
Please respect the time and intelligence of the list's readers --
people who may know more than many of us, and who don't have time for
political discussions or personal attacks. The quality of answers we
all receive to our questions depends on our not driving away these
knowledgable readers with noise.
Replies
-------
Please be careful quoting messages in your replies. Many mailers
automatically quote mail with a line like "...you wrote:" which is
obviously not correct when your reply is directed to the list as a
whole. Try to quote just enough of the original message to establish
a context, remembering that your reader may not have seen the message
you're replying to yet. But please don't include more of a quoted
article than necessary.
If you change the subject under discussion in your reply, please
change the Subject line of your article, so that those who are
interested in the material will know what your article is about.
Digest subscribers: be sure to edit the Subject line of your reply,
so that you don't post a subject like "Re: Digest V97 #100," which
will be ignored by most readers. Copy the subject line from the
individual article you're responding to.
###################################################################
Special note for Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Outlook users:
Newer Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Outlook (part of Office 97)
mail programs by default send the mail message twice: first as plain
text, and additionally as HTML, thus more than doubling the size of
your mail, and including a large block of nonsense for anyone not
using an identical mail reader.
Be absolutely sure to configure your mailer to NOT send this HTML
copy when corresponding with the Omega List!
###################################################################
Special note for AOL users:
The AOL system is known to have problems handling MIME
multipart digests, like the ones this list sends if you
subscribe to the digest version of the list. You will
probably be happier with the non-digest version, and if
you ask AOL to please make it a priority to fix their
software to become MIME compliant, perhaps someday they will.
=====================================================
Special note for Microsoft Exchange users:
You will want to be sure to turn OFF the "Rich-Text
Format" for all messages sent to this list, as they
add a large encoded-binary attachment that no one
but other MS Exchange users will appreciate. Here's
how, in case you don't know:
On the Properties for "omega-list@xxxxxxxxxx" in your
address book, CLEAR the Checkbox labeled:
"Always send to this recipient in
Microsoft Exchange rich-text format"
Unfortunately, MS Exchange is not reliable when replying
to messages, so for replies, you must pull up the
Properties configuration FOR EVERY SINGLE REPLY, and
uncheck the RTF box.
=====================================================
Special note for Worldnet.att users:
Be sure to configure your mailer so that your return
address does not contain the "postoffice" subdomain
when you post articles to the list. Otherwise the
server will not recognize your address and your
article will be rejected as not being from a subscriber.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Special note for Pegasus for Windows Users:
Be sure to turn OFF the confirmation receipt that
Pegasus generates by default to all mail messages.
You will want to be very sure that these receipts
don't get sent to all the list subscribers every
time you read your mail from the omega-list.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you have problems or suggestions, please direct your
inquiries to "omega-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx"
