1. Introduction

Welcome to the February edition of Stop signal! I'd like to apologise if you are receiving this email twice. Unless you have signed up more than once, the reason for this is that the transfer of the mailing list to website postoffice is not yet complete. To ensure that all subscribers receive
this edition it has been sent out using both programs.

2. New Articles

>>Wreck of the Tamiami Champion<<

The Tamiami Champion was one of the most prestigious trains on the Atlantic Lines. It conveyed commuters between
Washington and New York in considerable comfort. On 16 December 1943, while racing through North Carolina, both the Northbound and the Southbound trains met in catastrophic
circumstances.

5. Site Notes

>>Railway Post Office<<

The Railway Post office is a new area that has been created at the Danger Ahead! web site. This provides a single access point to message services available from the site the new
Signalpost Mail, Railway Postcards and Stop signal.

>>Signalpost Mail<<

A web based email account can be very useful. Not only can it provide a second or additional address, but because you use a web browser rather than an email client to access it you can send and read email even when you are away
from your own computer.

Now, Danger Ahead! has its own email service Signalpost Mail. This provides a fast web based account with a host of features. It boasts support for 10 languages (more coming soon), HTML and attachments. You can manage your email using as many folders as you wish to create. It even provides a
facility to read POP3 mail stored on your ISP's mail server.

>>Stop Signal Mailing List<<

The transfer of the mailing list to the new provider, Website Postoffice is nearing completion. A number of subscribers have yet to confirm their subscription. If you have received notification that you details have been transferred to the new service and you wish to continue to receive Stop signal, you should make sure that you respond to the email that will have been sent to you from "gigi" at website postoffice.
