Helpfile en anglais

[Pierre-Yves Lochou <adresse@cachée>]

Bonjour à tous,

Après avoir utilisé SYMPA pour une liste personnelle, je pense maintenant
commencer à l'utiliser à ILOG en tant que remplaçant de Majordomo. Tout ce
qu'il me manquait, c'était un fichier d'aide en anglais, pour la plupart
de nos clients qui sont anglophones. J'ai traduit le fichier d'aide
original et cette piètre traduction a été corrigée par une de mes
collègues, Veronica Murphy. Je ne sais pas si cette traduction vous
intéresse, mais au cas où, la voici. N'hésitez pas à me signaler toute
erreur !

SYMPA is an electronic mailing-list manager that automates list management
functions such as subscriptions, moderation, and archive management.

All commands must be sent to the electronic address <adresse@cachée>.

You can put multiple commands in a message. These commands must appear in the
message body (the subject is ignored) and each line must contain only one
command.

Available commands are:

 HELp                        * This help file
