Dear cousins, Our list is now at rootsweb! You do NOT need to resubscribe - if you get this, you are already on the list. I am sending you a copy of the "generic" welcome message that has posting and unsub instructions, etc. - please print it out (if possible) and SAVE IT for future reference. Welcome to the BROWNLEE-L mailing list! You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to BROWNLEE-L as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to [email protected] that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] 3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to [email protected] to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] to start receiving digests. The Digest Mode may not be set up for our list yet, so if you try it and it doesn't work, try again later. 4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to [email protected] It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both. Now, let's get back to searching for ancestors!!! Kay Cardwell-Davis [email protected] Listowner of: Cardwell Reddick Brownlee
