============================================================================

NOTE:

The list is often quite busy; if your email account doesn't have room for a few
day's postings you will find yourself de-subscribed by the list software if you
fill up  your email quota.

Lately there has been 3-10 subscribers bouncing every message due to 'over
email quota'; this adds up to quite a pile of bounced messages in the list
owner's mailbox!  I used to be able to let this go for a day or two, but this
quantity has forced me to tighten up the leeway I used to have.  Bouncing only
a few message may now cause you to be unsubscribed; if your mailbox is full
you won't even get any notice that this has happened!  If you stop getting your
messages please try resubscribing first.


Suggestions for posting to the list:

        Quote only the relevant portion of the message you are replying to.

        Try to hold down the 'one-liners' and reply directly to the sender if 
        the topic isn't of general interest.

        PLEASE do not send virus warnings, multi-level marketing schemes, 
        chain letters, articles about proposed internet taxes or laws, or
        anything that was sent to you with the request  to "send this to
        everyone you know".  These are off topic and generally only start flame
        wars.

        If it doesn't have to do with peppers at all it doesn't belong on the
        list.

Please don't include attachments, or send html or so-called Microsoft Rich
Text; the Chile-Heads list is ASCII only (plain text); any such postings will
not be sent out.  You may or may not be notified if this happens.


Chile-Heads Archives

        Back issues of the Digest are available at:

	ftp://ftp.globalgarden.com/

	Only the current volume is here; the rest of the archives are on the
	Chile-Heads site (see below).

Chile-Heads Home Page

        The Chile-Heads home page WAS located at:

        http://chileheads.netimages.com/

	netimages.com's ISP went out of business; the site is currently offline
	and will probably end up elsewhere once I retrieve a copy.  The 
	information below is still current even thought the site is not
	available.


        The web site include the Chile Gallery (over 70 pictures and
        descriptions of various common and uncommon chile peppers), access to
        the archive, and additional information including seed and hot sauce
        sources, scientific and botanical information, restaurant reviews and
        several pages on preserving chile peppers.  The Chile-Heads Recipe
        Collection is also on-line. The gardening section contains information
        for both first-time and expert pepper gardeners.
