----------------------- Mailing List Etiquette Here are some tips to remember when signing up for Mailing Lists: ~ If you are sent a confirmation letter (Welcome Letter), keep it in a folder somewhere, so that if you don't remember signing up for it, you'll have a copy somewhere that says you did. This can also be useful in remembering which email address you used, in case you have mail forwarded to that account, or have more than one email address. (The best way to save such Welcome Letters is to make a Mailbox in your email program for each surname List to which you subscribe; then, save the Welcome Letter in that Mailbox and don't ever delete it. Or make a separate Mailbox for "Saved Welcome Letters" and put all of them in that one Mailbox.) ~ UNSUBSCRIBE instructions are found in the body text of ALL Rootsweb Mailing Lists. Be sure to follow them, or you may not be unsubscribed, or it may take longer. If you don't follow the un- subscribe instructions, you will cause an error email to be sent to the List Manager/Administrator, which causes him/her to have to manually unsubscribe you, and will cause more work on his/ her part. Or, if you don't follow instructions, you may send your "unsubscribe" request back to the Mailing List itself, which not only doesn't do you any good (it won't be automatically acted upon), but it causes unnecessary posts to the List, which causes all users to have to download "junk posts". ~ If you feel it worth the time for you to subscribe to a Mailing List, you should feel it worth the time to follow instructions and not cause problems for other people, subscribers or List Managers. ~ REMEMBER, it's called ETIQUETTE!
