Currently offered services
This is a description of some of the services that you can access
through the Internet Pizza Server e-mail interface. To access one of these services,
simply place the name of the service as the first word of your mail
subject and send the mail to "pizza@ecst.csuchico.edu".
Additional subcommands to the service follow after that.
For example, if you want to read the makepizza help file, the subject
should read, "pizza help".
Note that all of the commands are currently case sensitive.
Here is a partial list of supported services. Additional services exist
for testing purposes and aren't in the least bit exciting to the average
man in the street.
