How does the reflector work?
A. First people must “subscribe” to the reflector. They subscribe by telling the reflector software their email address. As soon as they subscribe, they will begin to receive a copy of all emails sent to the reflector by other subscribers. Likewise, they can also then send an email which is automatically distributed to entire subscriber group. Here’s some examples. If a club officer wants to remind everyone of the next meeting, he could send (or post) a notice to the reflector and it would automatically be sent to all the reflector subscribers — usually within 5 minutes. Or you could post a message asking for help with a radio problem. Your notice would be sent to all other subscribers, and hopefully someone would respond, either to the group (best — everyone sees) or directly to you.
