Within the various Tcl FAQs there are references to items in the form of <URL: http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec.txt >. These are in a form which are useful to WorldWideWeb (WWW) clients. But for those unable to use WWW for some reason, there is a modicum of relief. To access these files via email: 1. Address a message to: <URL: mailto:webmail@www.ucc.ie > 2. There is no need for a Subject: line. 3. In the body of the message, type: GO http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec.txt 4. Any URL can be substituted for the sample above. Eventually you should get back the file in question. 5. The only restriction is this serves text (HTML and plain) by HTTP only, no graphics, and no FTP. For more information about accessing internet files via e-mail, pick up a copy of the following document: "INTERNET BY-EMAIL" Summary: This guide will show you how to retrieve files from FTP sites, explore the Internet via Gopher, search for information with Archie, Veronica, or WAIS, tap into the World-Wide Web (WWW), and even access Usenet newsgroups using E-MAIL AS YOUR ONLY TOOL.

Here's what I have seen mentioned: To post, use an e-mail->Usenet gateway. Send an a e-mail messages to {newsgroup}@{servername}. For example, to post to comp.lang.tcl through nic.funet.fi, address your mail to <URL: mailto:comp.lang.tcl@nic.funet.fi >. Here are a few e-mail->Usenet gateways that have been reported. A recent email indicates that none of these may be operational any longer. group.name@news.demon.co.uk group.name@charm.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu group.name@undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca group.name@nic.funet.fi group.name.usenet@decwrl.dec.com User Contributions:Top Document: comp.lang.tcl Frequently Asked Questions (Mar 05, 2005) (3/6) Previous Document: -N- The "How do I speed up a Tcl/Tk application" doc Next Document: -P- The patch and gzip commands, along with other useful utilities Part1 - Part2 - Part3 - Part4 - Part5 - Part6 - Single Page [ Usenet FAQs | Web FAQs | Documents | RFC Index ] Send corrections/additions to the FAQ Maintainer: lvirden@yahoo.com (Larry W.
