Subject: Access this IMAP resource (net-happenings mailing list)

MIDnet now provides "IMAP" access to all contributions mailed to the
net-happenings mailing list.   This means if you have a mail client that
is imap-compliant (i.e., pine), you may read the latest articles off
MIDnet's IMAP server.  By offering this kind of access, you don't have to
subscribe to net-happenings yourself, just rely on MIDnet to provide you
the articles.  The format for accessing an IMAP server is:

	*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/NET/yy-mm-dd

where you replace yy with "94", mm with "11", "10", etc and dd with "01",
"11", etc.

For example, after you press "g" in pine (for the "go-to" command), you 
would enter the above string like this:

	*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/NET/94-11-21

If you have comments or suggestions on how this service might be improved,
send mail to [email-masked].

You can also specify a folder-collection of

	*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/NET/[]

to get the entire archive in a collection.  That way you can browse much more
easily.

Note that this syntax is specific to c-client based packages like Pine and
may be different on other IMAP clients.  The syntax will also change in a
future version of c-client/Pine...

Are you *sure* that you had /anonymous in the folder collection?  rsh 
access is supposed to be disabled when /anonymous is used.  If it still 
tried rsh in spite of /anonymous, this is a bug (and please report it to 
pine-bugs).

The ":143" *is* the option to disable rsh!  Yeah, I know, we need a 
somewhat more intuitive interface...  ;-)

Note that this will also not work at all for those people using VMS
Pine gatewayed through VMS mail for outgoing mail (i.e. those people who
don't have a supported network protocol and are running Pine/VMS).  You
remember us -- we're the people who can't read news. :)
