An electronic mail account has just been opened for you and has been
configured as indicated below.  For information on how to make changes
to your mail account or to obtain explanations about any of the fields,
see the instructions that follow this account summary.

    Your-Name:              [Soundvision - Cloaked]

    (Note: Your name is sometimes referred to as your account name.)

    Internet-Addresses:     [[log in to unmask]]

    Finger-Information:     []

 =========================================================================
Here's some information about changing your account:

Only the system administrator can change your name or Internet addresses.
If you want to change your password or finger information you can do so
with a World Wide Web browser or via E-mail.  You simply fill out a form
indicating the desired changes and submit the form to the mail system.
To request the required Information form:

     via the Web:  connect to http://clifford.ironlight.com:666

     via E-mail:   You can get the E-mail form to modify your
                   account by sending a new message to the
                   address, <[log in to unmask]>,
                   with the word "Information" as the message
                   body like this:

                         To: [log in to unmask]

                         Information

                   Note:  The word "Information" is case sensitive and
                   must be entered exactly as indicated.

After receiving the Information form, make the appropriate changes,
put in your password, and submit the form.  (Note:  If you are using
the E-mail interface you'll need to create a reply message including
the content of the original E-mail, then edit and submit that reply.)

If you don't receive an error message, the changes have been accepted.

 =========================================================================
Here is an explanation of each of the fields shown for your account:

Your-Name
---------
This field is for your real name as you prefer to see it in written form.
It is not your E-mail address, although it will be included with your
E-mail address on messages sent out from your account if the Postmaster
has configured your account to rewrite the "From" address on outgoing mail.
If your name is misspelled, you should inform your Postmaster as only
the Postmaster can make changes to this field.

Internet-Addresses
------------------
You can receive mail at any of the Internet addresses listed. The first
one is your Primary Internet Address.  Your Primary Internet Address
is usually the address included in all outgoing mail and should be the
one you generally give out as your E-mail address.

All Internet addresses are matched in a case-insensitive manner so they
may be written in any mixture of upper and lowercase characters.  The case
of your Primary Internet Address is important only if you want to have your
address on all outgoing mail written a specific way.

Multiple addresses may be used to accommodate common misspellings
(e.g. Jane.MacFarlane@Domain and Jane.McFarland@Domain), various address
formats including hostname hiding on outgoing mail (e.g. Jane.Doe@Domain,
[log in to unmask], doej@domain, doe@domain, etc.), or addresses in
multiple domains (Jane@Domain1, DoeJ@Domain2).

Finger-Information
------------------
The "finger" directory service lets people find information about other
people with E-mail accounts.  The information specified here will be returned
to other users who request information about you (as long as the Postmaster
has not limited access to your account).

Your finger information can include anything you want people to know, such as
your postal mailing address and favorite quote.
