ISSUE NUMBER 14, SPRING 2005
April 11, 2005

2004 was a very quiet year, but with the 5th IFAA meeting coming up next September in Ferrara 2005 ought be very promising as regards contributions to our knowledge of fossil (and modern) algae.

In 2004 one of the two FoTAN editors, Bruno Granier, moved from Paris to Brest, a displacement westward of some 600 kilometers associated with the change in the orientation of his career from the oil industry to academe. Bruno is also the webmaster of the IFAA website and the change in direction gives him more time to do research and to coordinate other projects that will benefit our community of specialists on calcareous algae, among them RHODES. PETRALGA, the CALCALGA list, the IFAA website , and FoTAN.

POST-SYMPOSIUM FIELD TRIP
SEPTEMBER 1ST-3RD

The post-symposium filed trip will visit the Colli Berici, Monti Lessini, Rovereto and Gorizia areas. This field excursion will focus on shallow water carbonates including Middle-Upper Eocene calcareous algae (Colli Berici), and Lower Jurassic microbial structures, dasycladaleans, larger foraminifera (Monti Lessini) on the 1st day; Lower Jurassic microbial structures, dasycladaleans, and dinosaurs trackways (Rovereto) on the 2nd day; and dasycladaleans at the K/T boundary (Friuli area) on the 3rd day. The trip will start and finish in Ferrara. Field trip fees include coach fees from and to Ferrara, hotel accommodations (2 nights) as well as two dinners and three lunches.

Are you a member of the CALCALGA mailing list (Recent and fossil calcareous algae)?

To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just send mail to CALCALGA@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES. This is called "sending mail to the list," because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address (CALCALGA@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES) is also called the "list address." 

You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV address," LISTSERV@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES. It is very important to understand the difference between the two, but fortunately it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number that connects you to a machine, whereas the list address is like a normal voice line connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake and dial the FAX number when you wanted to talk to someone on the phone, you will quickly realize that you used the wrong number and call again. No harm will have been done. If on the other hand you accidentally make your FAX call someone's voice line, the person receiving the call will be inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes. The fact that most people will eventually connect the FAX machine to the voice line to allow the FAX to go through and make the calls stop does not mean that you should continue to send FAXes to the voice number. People would just get mad at you. It works pretty much the same way with mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, and consequently you can expect a lot of people to get upset if you consistently send commands to the list address. 

You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF CALCALGA" command to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES. It is recommended that you send an e-mail to both list moderators, Bruno Granier and Juan Carlos Carlos Braga.

You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you do not trust the system, send a "SET CALCALGA REPRO" command and LISTSERV will send you a copy of your own messages, so that you can see that the message was distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while you may find that this is getting annoying, especially if your mail program does not tell you that the message is from you when it informs you that new mail has arrived from CALCALGA. If you send a "SET CALCALGA ACK NOREPRO" command, LISTSERV will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, which will look different in your mailbox directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this is an acknowledgement you can read later. Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with "SET CALCALGA NOACK NOREPRO". Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options have been set to "MAIL REPRO SUBJECTHDR" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For more information about subscription options, send a "QUERY CALCALGA" command to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX CALCALGA" command to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES. You can then order these files with a "GET CALCALGA LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter. This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the digested version of the postings, just issue a SET CALCALGA DIGEST command. More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV reference card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD" command to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.REDIRIS.ES.
