The main purpose of the "LeonardPeltier" mailing list is to discuss the imprisonment of Leonard Peltier, to provide information regarding ongoing efforts to effect his release from prison to include background information, and to provide support for both Leonard Peltier and those people who are working hard to have him released. Other topics, which may not seem related, such as the Big Mountain (Hopi Land Partition) relocation, or other items of interest to the American Indian Movement (not necessarily referring to "AIM"), are also welcome.

This is an independent list to encourage discussion and build the movement to free Leonard Peltier. To get information and/or verification directly from Leonard Peltier's official source of communication send e-mail to the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee.
Please take a moment to visit the official LPDC Leonard Peltier Defense Committee International Office web site! "Help To Secure Justice For An Innocent Man!"

This list is not sponsored by any commercial, political, or similar organization or entity. So, list members should feel free to express their thoughts and opinions without fear of reprisals to any such entity.

This is to be an unmoderated list but, those who choose to use colorful metaphors or continually attack other subscribers personally, will be removed!

All people, old friends, new friends, and old or new "foes", are welcome to participate in this mailing list.

Once you've determined that you wish to subscribe to the paths-l mailing list, address an Internet email message to:

Majordomo@YvwiiUsdinvnohii.net

In the body of the message put the following as the only line of the message (no subject is necessary for the message):

subscribe LeonardPeltier

When you wish to unsubscribe place the following as the only line of the message (no subject is necessary for the message):

unsubscribe LeonardPeltier

If for some reason you wish to have the mailings go to a different address (a friend's address, a specific other system on which you have an account, or an address which is more correct than the one that automatically appears in the "From:" header on the mail you send), you would add that address to the command. For instance, if you're sending a request from your work account, but wish to receive "paths-l" mail at your personal account (for which we will use "jqpublic@my-isp.com" as an example), you'd put the line

subscribe LeonardPeltier jqpublic@my-isp.com

in the mail message body.

You will receive notification via email from Majordomo that an authorization key is required for subscription. Another message will be sent to the address to be subscribed (which may or may not be the same as yours) containing the key, and directing the user to send a command found in that message back to Majordomo@YvwiiUsdinvnohii.net. (This can be a bit of extra hassle, but it helps keep you from being swamped in extra email by someone who forged requests from your address.) The message sent to the subscribing address will contain a line that looks something like this (assuming the same email address as above):

auth fcc9412f subscribe LeonardPeltier jqpublic@my-isp.com

You must send another message to Majordomo@YvwiiUsdinvnohii.net with that line as the only line of the message (no subject is necessary). You can do this easily by just replying to the message you receive and deleting all but the above line which must be flush with the left margin of the message body. Make sure that nothing else is in the message body or Majordomo will choke!

Upon succesfully subscribing, you should receive an introductory message, containing list policies and features. Save this message for future reference; it will also contain exact directions for unsubscribing. If you loose the intro mail and would like another copy, send a message to Majordomo@YvwiiUsdinvnohii.net with the following in the body of the message:

intro LeonardPeltier

Once the message is received letting it be known that the subscription was successful, use the following address to post to the LeonardPeltier list:

In order for your messages to be posted, you will have to send them from the address used to subscribe. The list requires subscription for posting. If a message is ever rejected, please contact the list keeper by email:

List-Keeper@YvwiiUsdinvnohii.net

Please keep in mind that the ambience of the list will be set by those subscribed so, it is up to the subscribers, the true owners, to keep the list pleasant, interesting, informative and flowing smoothly!
