Hello and welcome to the mailing list. I am John Schubert <jes@rx7.org>, and I maintain the RX-7 mailing List. The list currently has about 600 subscribers.

** PLEASE read all of this information page. **

This list is not affiliated in any way with anyone at Mazda.

Please read this entire introduction and then save it so that you may refer to it in the future if you need.

This list is for *ALL* Mazda Rotary engined vehicles and anything that operates using the Wankel type rotary engine.

The list's main purpose is to discuss related matters concerning these cars whether it be technical or not. All opinions and postings are
welcome.

There is an archive of the messages to this list maintained on Yahoo! Groups. It is available on the World Wide Web at the URL:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rx-7

PLEASE DO NOT archive this list on open web sites. It exposes all posters email addresses to web-bots that harvest email addresses for SPAMers.

I send this generic introduction out to everyone who requests to be on the list as sort of a greeting. Feel free to start a topic of your choice: talk about your new Mazda, post an anecdote about your old Mazda, discuss a repair you just made or would like to make, etc. There are no moderators on this list, so everything you send to:

rx7@rx7-world.net

goes directly to everyone in the alias file. Before you post to the mailing list, keep in mind that many people will be reading what you write. The administrative webpage for the RX-7 mailing lists is:

http://lists.rx7-world.net/mailman/listinfo/rx7

Please use the administrative webpage for administrative tasks (removal from list, change of address, etc.,). Please do NOT send administrative messages to the postings address, as the rest of the list recipients probably aren't interested in your request to be removed/changed, etc! DO NOT SEND THESE REQUESTS TO THE POSTINGS ADDRESS! This is one of the worst things a person can do. Please don't do it.

The second worst thing you can do is to include the entire digest inside of your mail message when you are posting. If you are going to include something, only include what is relevant to your posting. Including the whole digest not only increases the size of the next
digest two-fold, but it is very annoying. DO NOT DO THIS EITHER.

Do not forge mail to the mailing list. If I find that you've done this, you will be permanently removed from the list. In addition, I will inform your site administrator(s). And, maybe, your mother.

If you want to share images, sounds, or anything else of large size with the mailing list, upload the file to a web server and send the URL instead. When you post, only use regular ascii text. The list server will strip MIME or any other attachments.

If your mailbox has a limit on the number of messages that can be delivered to your mailbox, please consider using the digest and in either case, check your mailbox frequently. I WILL unsubscribe people who bounce list messages due to full mailboxes.

If you use a filter rule for vacation notices you *should* un-subscribe from the list prior to turning on the rule. Then re-subscribe when you return. This does not apply to UNIX users using a "smart" vacation program.

Because there is a great deal of mail generated by the RX-7 lists, I have elected to institute the following scheme to make it easier for you to find topics that interest you.

Please preface the subject line of any posting to the list with the following keywords:

[1] Messages relating to first generation Rx-7
      (1978 to 1985 US body style, FB or SA22C. Int'l, Series 1-3)
[2] Messages relating to second generation RX-7
      (1986 to 1991 US body style, FC. Int'l, Series 4 & 5)
[3] Messages relating to third generation RX-7
      (1993 to 12/1995 US body style, FD. Int'l, through 2002, Series 6 & 7)
[8] Messages relating to the RX-8
[misc] Not strictly related to a particular model, but still Rotary related. Future Rotary model posts fit here...
[humor] Self explanatory -- and, please, not too many of these posts and Rotary related!
[none] Not Rotary related.
[list] Questions/Discussion about the lists themselves

[admin] This label will be used for information I deem important for all subscribers to read. I use it sparingly.
