o Mail forwarding on VMS:  A lot of people use  the  mailing  system  to
  forward  their  mails  to  sites  out of the university.  When you use
  BMAIL all works ok.  However, when you use VMS/MAIL  there  is  a  bug
  which  places  the  mailer's  username  as the sender; replying to the
  message in these cases won't get you to the correct address.   If  you
  use Pine or VMS/MAIL (and all those who read the mail via a PC program
  like Eudora/Netscape use it) then please use the  following  procedure
  to forward your mail:

  1. Register into BMAIL by starting BMAIL and selecting the  "register"
     option.
  2. Set the forwarding address by selecting "SetForward"; in BMAIL  you
     type  only  the  address,  without  the  BITNET%  you are used from
     VMS/MAIL.
  3. Select "ShowForward" to make sure the address is correct.

  When you want to stop the mail forwarding  please  use  the  following
     procedure:

  1. Enter BMAIL and select "CancelForward" option.
  2. Select "Cancel" option which unsubscribes you from  BMAIL  and  let
     incoming  mail  to get to VMS/MAIL (from which you can read it with
     Pine, Eudora, Netscape and alike).


o Maple  users:   All  Maple  users  should  contact  Tamar  Arbeli   at
  tamara@vms.huji.ac.il or at 02-6584217.
