If you were offended by the REMINDER please let me know how I could be
worded in a way that wouldn't. And NO, I can't remove the requirement for
the damn colon. Sorry, call LSOFT.

The current message goes like this:

<BLOCKQUOTE>
Karl, Did you know many list subscribers didn't get your Post?

The subject line on your post of <date> at <time>:
" [PIC] Re: MPLAB V5.3 special characters"
does not meet the subject rules for posting to the PICList.

The PICList, with over 2000 members, generates a large number of
posts every day. It can be difficult to keep up with everything
being discussed. Also, PICList people tend to be fascinating
informed and brilliant with a wide range of interests. To
allow wider ranging discussions without disturbing those
who do not have time for non-PIC topics, we use TOPIC TAGS
at the start of each subject line to categorize posts.

Posts, like yours, that are not tagged with a topic code are
sent in a special topic called Other: which many PICList members
do not subscribe to. As a result, many of the members who would
be interested in your post or reply, did not see it.

You can ensure that more people see your post by selecting the
appropriate tag and re-sending your post with that tag at the
start of the subject.

The subject must START with ONE of:
[PIC]:
(click here-> mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BPIC%5D%3A )
This label is for posts that are strictly on the topic of PICs.
If the subject is not PIC specific, please use another tag.
Some examples of [PIC]: topics are: MPLAB or other PIC language
questions, on chip peripherals, how to do some sort of thing in
PIC assembly language or other PIC specific languages, 'how do
I...on a PIC'.
[SX]:
(click here-> ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BSX%5D%3A%20 )
Items specific to the Scenix SX microcontrollers

[AVR]:
(click here-> ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?Subject=%5BAVR%5D%3A%20 )
Items specific to the Atmel AVR microcontrollers

[EE]:
(click here-> ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BEE%5D%3A%20 )
This label is for topics that, while not necessarily about
PICs, are of general interest to the EE community. How to hook
something up to a microcontroller or other computer (not
related to the PIC on board peripherals), how to measure
something, how something works, news about companies involved
in EE, etc...

[OT]:
(click here-> ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BOT%5D%3A%20 )
This label is for posts that are completely off the topic of
PICs. The only thing we don't (ever) want to see are religious,
hate, or political messages.

[BUY]:
(click here-> ( mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU?Subject=%5BBUY%5D%3A%20 )
People looking for parts, equipment, or consultants should use
this topic. People who sell parts should watch this topic :)

[AD]:
(click here-> ( mailto:piclist@mitvma.mit.edu?subject=%5BAD%5D%3A )
This label is for posts advertising a commercial product or
service. Don't SPAM, do post [AD]:

The colon is required. The tags can also be typed in lowercase.
'Re:' is ok before the tag, but 'Fwd:' or 'Fw:' is not
recognized by the list server (complain to LSoft).

You can turn off the Other: topic (and avoid the distraction of
mis-tagged posts) by sending SET PICLIST TOPICS: -Other to
LISTSERV@MITVMA.MIT.EDU
mailto:LISTSERV@MITVMA.MIT.EDU?body=SET%20PICLIST%20TOPICS:%20-Other
For more information, please see:
http://www.piclist.com/#topics

P.S.
Only Admins should use the All: topic to originate a thread. When
replying to a Digest message, please edit the Subject line to
indicate the thread you are replying to.

Send any questions about this reminder to: jamesnewton@piclist.com

See? Reminder. NOT WARNING. Nice guy working hard to help people get the
most out of the list. NOT POLICE. The Police routine is for people who post
hateful, racist, sexist, etc... posts or who SPAM the list.

Subject: [PIC]: Re: MPLAB V5.3 special characters


(Sending again after the warning from the PICLIST police
that [PIC] isn't good enough, it must be [PIC]: at the
start of the subject line.)

Michael,

Try holding Alt and typing the following numbers on the
keypad:

[ Alt 091
] Alt 093
~ Alt 126
