Hi I hope you don't mind me taking the opportunity to tell you that I have just created a new ROOTSWEB mailing list, and GENCONNECT boards - for the surname BETTISON... Full details are below. thanks Jenny Bostock The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to BETTISON-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe, just send the command "subscribe" to BETTISON-L-request@rootsweb.com. 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 BETTISON-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to BETTISON-D-request@rootsweb.com to start receiving digests. 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 BETTISON-L@rootsweb.com. It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both.
