Welcome to Chile-Heads@globalgarden.com, an electronic mailing
list established for the discussion of chile peppers.
This is a routine posting you will see from time to time on Chile-Heads.

============================================================================
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.
For more information on why you should use plain-text to Usenet and
mailing lists, see http://www.expita.com/nomime.html.
Chile-Heads Archives
Back issues of the Digest are available at:
ftp://ftp.globalgarden.com/pub/chile-heads/digest/
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 includes 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.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about Chile-Heads, please
contact the list owner at the address below.
