> > >How do I change my preferences to reading online? > Time for some mailing etiquette and skills. To unsubscribe from this list go to the following website: http://lists.rootsweb.com and find your list of interest. At the list's webpage, you will find links to unsub from both L and D. Otherwise you can do so yourself by sending an email and adding request. Such as: listname-L-request@rootsweb.com listname-D-request@rootsweb.com Put unsubscribe in subject and body of message Once you find your list's website, you can also use the website to change your subscription for L to D or from D to L (unsubscribe from the one you no longer want to belong to and then subscribe to the one you want instead) ....also use that website to view the list's archives which you can use two functions....search by year, browse by month. If you don't know whether or not you are subscribed to a mailing list, go to Password Central: http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Put your email address in the box and then check off, under Mailing Lists: To which lists am I subscribed? Immediately, you will receive and email from Rootsweb with a list of the all the mailing lists which you are subbed to and it will also give you the L or D designation. Suppose you are not getting mail from a list and you wonder if you have been dropped? First, check the archives of the list, using the browse function, to see if there has been any messages posted. If there has been, then go to Password Central and get a list of your subscriptions. Suppose you are trying to unsubscribe to a list but get a message that you were not unsubbed because your email address was not listed? Go to Password Central and get a list of your subscriptions. In most cases, you are subbed to D and trying to unsub from L... If you don't want to receive mail from the list but want to read what has posted, after unsubbing from the list, use the browse function of the archives. If you want to contact the list admin but don't know who (s)he is or don't know his/her email address, send an email using the list's posting address but substitute ADMIN for L. Such as: For Ireland-L@rootsweb.com, you would send -- Ireland-admin@rootsweb.com When using the digest form of a list, remember when replying to a message to change the subject line. Finally, NEVER send unsub messages to the list. The unsubs are done automatically by the computer and you won't be unsubbed unless the computer sees the 'request' in the address. If you are having a problem with your subscription or with trying to unsub, contact the admin OFF LIST. Hope this helps. I will gladly answer any questions you have about you subscription if you email me OFF list. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton
