Hi Folks: The following message is posted for the benefit of "new" members of this CORMIER Mailing List and will be re-posted on an ongoing basis. --------------------------------------------------------------- TO POST A MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON THE MAILING LIST: Type your inquiry/response message and send it to... CORMIER-L@rootsweb.com Note that the word "request" is NOT included and is only used to subscribe or unsubscribe from the Mailing List. Your message will be sent to ALL subscribers of the Mailing List. Be certain to keep your "signature" short and sweet. As a matter of fact, your name and e-mail address is all that is required (and recommended). TWO VERSIONS TO CHOSE FROM: You are either subscribed to the "L" Mode (and receive a copy of each messages posted on the Mailing List, in individual messages), or the "D" (Digest) Mode (and receive copy of multiple messages, in a _single_ e-mail). Regardless of which Mode you are subscribed to, you receive a copy of ALL messages posted on the Mailing List. If you are subscribed to the "L" Mode and find you are receiving too many messages from the Mailing List, turn OFF your signature file and then, merely send an e-mail message to CORMIER-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word UNSUBSCRIBE (only) in the body of your message. This action will cancel your subscription to the "L" Mode. Then, send a second message to CORMIER-D-request@rootsweb.com with the single word SUBSCRIBE (only) in the body of your message. This action will subscribe you to the Digest Mode. TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE MAILING LIST: First, you must determine if you are subscribed under the "L" Mode (individual messages) or the "D" Mode (digest of multiple messages in a single e-mail). 1. To unsubscribe from the "L" Mode, turn OFF your signature file and then, send an e-mail message to CORMIER-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word UNSUBSCRIBE (only) in the body of your message. This action will cancel your subscription to the "L" Mode. 2. To unsubscribe from the "D" (Digest) Mode, send an e-mail message to CORMIER-D-request@rootsweb.com with the single word UNSUBSCRIBE (only) in the body of your message. This action will cancel your subscription to the "D" Mode. 3. If you change your e-mail address: A) As soon as you have your new address and have re-configured your e-mail program to reflect the new address, send a SUBSCRIBE message to: ACADIAN-CAJUN-L-request@rootsweb.com You need not be concerned about your OLD address, since after a few "bounced" messages, the Rootsweb software will automatically unsubscribe the OLD address. B) HOWEVER, if you retain your OLD e-mail address and only want to receive messages to your NEW address, it WILL be necessary for you to send an UNSUBSCRIBE message (from your OLD address)... otherwise, you will receive messages at both your OLD and NEW address. Note: If you have more than one e-mail address, you MUST send your message from the address with which you are subscribed to the Mailing List. YVON L.
