+Subject: re: Parskip into footnotes
+
+ Thomas Sippel writes:
+ I am getting increasingly allergic to paragraph indents in text that
+ is broken up with many display items, such as technical documentation.
+
+ The parskip package gets rid of most of these, but footnotes still
+ come a paragraph indent and no paragraph separation space - grrr
+
+ Does anybody have a style file that addresses this ?
+
+The parskip package is new to me. However, assuming it does the trick for all
+other cases of concern, it's easy to change the way paragraphing is done in
+footnotes. A footnote is typeset by the \@makefntext command. This command
+is defined by the style file; it will be called in an enviroment where
+\@parboxrestore has been called, so among other things both \parskip and
+\parindent have been reset to 0 pt.
+
+Obligatory typesetting point: The way paragraphs are marked is inherently
+part of the definition of the style. They are intentionally not settable
+parameters of the standard styles. Once you start changing them, you are
+designing your own style. Feel free, but be aware that you (a) will be
+dealing with the *internals* of the style files; (b) are on your own as far
+as typographical quality.
+
+Warning aside, here's the definition of \@makefntext that appears in the
+three standard LaTeX styles (article, book, and report):
+
+ \long\def\@makefntext#1{\parindent 1em\noindent
+ \hbox to 1.8em{\hss$^{\@thefnmark}$}#1}
+
+If you simple change this to leave \parindent alone, and instead change
+\parskip, you should get the effect you want. The best way to do this
+would be in a style file - just put exactly the editted text in your own
+"fnparskip.sty" file, or add it to the end of the parskip.sty file you have
+now. For simple testing, you can also place this definition in your document
+preamble. In that case, put \makeatletter before it and \makeatother after.

+Subject: Wanted: New members for UK TeX Users Group
+
+
+There are many good reasons for joining the UK TeX Users Group.
+Here are two good reasons for joining before the end of the year.
+
+The first is that you will receive the last of issue of Baskerville
+of 1994, which is devoted entirely to answering the 99 most
+frequently answered questions about TeX.
+
+The second is that out of gratitude for your promptness, you will
+save two pounds (out of twenty). And of course you will get the 6
+issues of Baskerville scheduled for 1995.
+
+And there's another reason for joining now. Early next year there
+will be an important meeting:
+
+ Portable Documents: Acrobat, SGML and TeX
+ Bridewell Theatre, off Fleet Street, London
+ January 19th 1995, 10am to 5pm
+
+cosponsored by the BCS Electronic Publishing Special Group. Members of
+UKTUG (and BCS-EPSG) pay only forty pounds (saving ten) if they book
+early.
+
+The moral of this message is to act now. Contact me and I'll put
+the details and forms into the Royal Mail to you. If you give me the
+name and address of someone who you think might be interested, I'll
+send them to that person also.
+
+If this reads a little like an advertisment, it is because it is an
+advertisment. But then again, I am:

+
+\subsection PC and Mac disks
+
+ From January 1994 the UK TeX Users' Group is distributing an
+ emTeX kit for PCs, and an OzTeX kit for Macintosh. The cost
+ covers copying and postage costs, and the shareware fee for
+ OzTeX. Each set costs \pounds30, and is available from
+ Peter Abbott, 1 Eymore Close, Selly Oak, Birmingham B29 4LB.
+ Cheques must be payable to `UKTUG'. Please note that this
+ service **is available to UKTUG members only.**
+
+ Each set comes with an installation guide, and (at least)
+ full TeX and Metafont, a previewer, a PostScript driver, and
+ CM fonts. Two update disks a year will be sent out
+ automatically, with the current version of LaTeXe, and other
+ goodies. A subscription service will be available for
+ subsequent years. In addition, subscribers can request up to
+ 3 disks a year with any material from the CTAN archives, but
+ this will be supplied `as is', without instructions.
+
+ OzTeX and emTeX are also available on disk from TeX Users Group;
+ mail TUG for details.
