Subject: NEWS: Version 6.6 of the ACCMAIL FAQ (fwd)





Joy!  Version 6.6 of the ACCMAIL (Accessing The Internet By E-Mail) FAQ
was just released to the MIT and MAILBASE archives (although it might not
be visible on MAILBASE right away).

                 "Accessing The Internet By E-Mail"
           Doctor Bob's Guide to Offline Internet Access
                       Version 6.6 - May 1997

This special report 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, and even access Usenet
newsgroups USING E-MAIL AS YOUR ONLY TOOL.

There's lots of new info resulting from my continued research and
comments from readers all around the world.  Find out the new addresses
for FTP, Gopher and Web mail servers, browse the expanded Net Goodies
section, and be sure to read about digital pizza by e-mail!

"Accessing" is now available in over 30 languages.  For the list of
translations send e-mail to BobRankin@MHV.net with Subject: send list

The document is now available from several automated mail servers.
To get the latest edition, send e-mail to one of the addresses below.
