World-Wide-Web pages via e-mail
-------------------------------

Fortunately for our colleagues with e-mail connection only
HealthNet/SatelLife has established a free 'GetWeb MailBot' service, which
means anyone with an e-mail programme can download documents from the World
Wide Web by sending a message to:

getweb@usa.healthnet.org

Type the following commands only in the text of your message: (leave the
'Subject' line empty)

get <URL>
end

(where <URL> [Uniform Resource Locator] should be replaced by the desired
World Wide Web address).

For example, you can retrieve AFRO-NETS' home page by sending this simple
message:

To:		getweb@usa.healthnet.org
Subject:	<leave blank>

get http://www.healthnet.org/afronets/index.html
end

You will receive via e-mail the following type of message which is a plain
text (ASCII) copy of the AFRO-NETS home page:
