HI Everyone, I recieved this today. The JERRETT mail list is back up and running. The others are being added also and you will recieve welcome letters or a message from the Listowner of those too. This Welcome letter will explain how to do things on Rootsweb. If you have any questions please email me and I will try and answer them. Welcome Back and please post anytime you would like. There was a serious problem at maiser and we have had all the lists moved, Thanks to Larry and the Generous People at Rootsweb we have a home. We owe a big Thanks to Karen, Larry and Rootsweb! I Hope to see some posts soon, Good luck, Angel Welcome to the GEORGE mailing list! You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to GEORGE as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to GEORGE-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to GEORGE-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 GEORGE-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to GEORGE-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 GEORGE-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. For your verification, a transcript of the original subscription request is included below.
