Hello Listers Please can you ALL note the following information and can I ask you to keep a copy of this email for futher reference if you have any uncertainty about this topic. I know it can be a little confusing but there are 2 important addresses: (1) [email protected] (for mail mode subscribers) OR [email protected] (for digest mode subscribers) is the address to send notices only about joining or leaving the mailing list ie. subscribe or unsubscribe. These messages are dealt with by a computer program at Rootweb and add or delete people from the list of Hampshire Mailing List members automatically. You should not need to send anything to this address again until you want to leave the mailing list. You subscribe or unsubscribe by sending your message to whichever address in (2) applies to you. Keep the subject line blank and put "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" (without the quote marks) in the main message window. (2) [email protected] is the address EVERYBODY should use to send messages to everyone else in the CANAL-PEOPLE Mailing List. This address applies, regardless of whether you are in mail mode (each message comes as a separate email) or in digest mode (messages come batched together in a once daily email). If you send your genealogy message to address (1) it will not reach anyone else on the mailing list. It will come to my rejects box and will not be posted to the list. I have, in the past forwarded messages, but this has started your replies coming to me and that does not help your research! So please can everyone make an effort to use the correct addresses.
