Someone already has :)

                             Advanced Encryption Standard

                mail the word "subscribe" to aes-request@suburbia.net

                                         or

               mail the word "subscribe" to aes-d-request@suburbia.net
                                 (AES weekly digest)


SUBSCRIBING
-----------

Send mail to:

        aes-request@suburbia.net
or
        aes-d-request@suburbia.net (AES digest)

with the subject or body of:

        subscribe

UN-SUBSCRIBING
-------------

Send mail to:

        aes-request@suburbia.net
or
        aes-d-request@suburbia.net (AES digest)

with the subject or body of:

        unsubscribe aes

POSTING
-------

To send a message to the list, address it to:

        aes@suburbia.net

Messages under 700 bytes in size will not be accepted. Send your
one-liners to nobody@nowhere.org.

REPLYING
--------

If you are replying to a message already on the AES list using
your mail programs reply facility you may have to change the reply
address to aes@suburbia.net. This is because the AES mailing
list program is configured to have return replies sent the author
in order to avoid receiving the replies of misconfigured "vacation"
programs which automatically send email saying "I've gone to the
moon for two weeks to hunt rare bits".

ARCHIVES
--------

Monthly back issues of aes since July 1998 are available from:

        ftp://suburbia.net/pub/mailinglists/aes

You can also instruct the mailing list processor to automatically scan and
retrive messages from the archive. It understands the following commands:

        get filename ...
        ls directory ...
        egrep case_insensitive_regular_expression filename ...
        maxfiles nnn
        version

        Aliases for 'get': send, sendme, getme, gimme, retrieve, mail
        Aliases for 'ls': dir, directory, list, show
        Aliases for 'egrep': search, grep, fgrep, find

        Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
        Multiple commands per mail are allowed.
        Setting maxfiles to zero will remove the limit (to protect you against
        yourself no more than maxfiles files will be returned per request).
        Egrep supports most common flags.

        Examples:
        ls vomume96 (for aes digest)
        ls latest (the latest directory containes the archived messages)
        get latest/12
        egrep some.word latest/*

TECHNICAL
---------

The list processor software is based on the excellent Procmail/Smartlist
by Stephen R. van den Berg <berg@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> with
some minor extensions by Julian Assange <proff@suburbia.net>.
