Hi Jean,

Yup, you did it right. When someone sends a message to the list address,
"tmic-list(AT)eskimo.com", then everyone who has subscribed to the list
receives a copy of the message. There are about 110 people on the list,
either people who have TM or know someone who does.

I was diagnosed with acute transverse myelitis 8 years ago when I was 21. A
MRI showed something at C1-2 level. Because of the high level, I am totally
paralyzed from the neck down and dependent on a repirator to breathe.

If you haven't seen it already, check the web page for more information.
