| ISHMAIL |
Since 1994, the Melville Society has sponsored ISHMAIL, an on-line discussion
group open to all individuals academics, students, and enthusiasts
with an interest in Melville. The message or query you send to ISHMAIL is distributed
to all members on the list, and all messages sent in response will be distributed
to the entire group (which presently stands at about 500 members world-wide).
The group is managed by the Melville Society's editor, John Bryant, but messages
are not monitored or in anyway censored. An archive of past ISHMAIL discussions
is maintained, and instructions for accessing it are contained in the "Welcome"
message you receive when you subscribe.
To subscribe to ISHMAIL, send a message to Mailserv@hofstra.edu.Your message must read: subscribe ISHMAIL-L {your name}.
Once you are subscribed, you will receive a WELCOME message that provides additional
procedural information. You will also begin to send and receive ISHMAIL messages
immediately.
