>Hello,
>  A short while ago you likely received a piece of "junk mail"
>entitled "Architext would like to index your mailing list."  I made a
>foolish technical blunder, so you probably didn't receive the letter
>you were supposed to, about how wonderful Architext is.  Well, it is
>wonderful.  And I certainly hope that you will not hold my great
>mistake against this fine company.  I can only beg your forgiveness
>and ask you to read the real letter, enclosed below.  Please direct
>all flames to Jeff Young (list@atext.com).

>With most profuse apologies,
>Jeff Young
>(list@atext.com)

>
>P.S.  If you have not yet received anything from Architext, please
>disregard the aforementioned and read on anyway.

>Hi,
>
>Architext is an exciting new media navigation company. We're
>developing a service designed to give users powerful ways to search
>and browse the content available over the internet.
>
>We're calling our service Bullseye!, and we'd like to include your
>mailing list(s) in the content that we index and archive. Other
>content will include web pages, newsgroups and thousands of editorial
>reviews.  Basic searching and browsing will be free for all users; we
>also plan to offer profiling services for a nominal fee.
>
>Would it be acceptable for Architext to subscribe to your list(s) as a
>regular user and to keep archives of the list(s) content? This content
>will always be freely searchable by any user of the internet.
>
>In exchange for your permission to index your list(s), we'd like to
>offer you profiling services free of charge for one year. That way you
>will be notified about new web pages and news articles that match your
>profile. So you can stay abreast of new developments and make sure you
>have the most current information available as it comes out. Don't be
>the last on your block to get profiling from Bullseye!
>
>Architext was recently voted one of the top 25 cool technology
>companies by Fortune magazine (July 10 issue) and was featured on the
>cover of this March's Red Herring magazine. For more information on
>Architext, check out http://www.atext.com.
>
>Bullseye!  will be opening soon (around August 15) and we hope that we
>can include your list(s) in this exciting service.
>
>If you agree to allow us to archive your list(s), please add us as the
>user list@atext.com (non-digest form, please, if possible). And drop
>us a line telling us which list(s) you've subscribed us to.
>
>Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
