Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit FIRST:: Please reply off the list directly to me, Jeannie Smith, <wordgenius@aol.com> ### I tried to respond directly, but it would not work. Jane Kuck### Hi, all, When I inherited this mail list there were some options selected in the management files that we might want to change. Majority vote rules - send your replies by next Monday, Nov. 25. As a 19th century politician said, "Vote early and vote often" - just kidding about the often part! 1. Emails sent to the list have a "reply to ILGreene-L" tag on them, which means that most of the time when you reply to a message posted, it will go to the whole list when you meant to just have it go to the person who sent it. (I'm guilty of this when I get busy and forget to look at the reply-to line at the top of the email.). I prefer having the responses go to the entire list as you never know when some little detail will be most helpful to someone not included in the original exchange of data. Should I remove this option so that the replies automatically go just to the person who posts the messag? You can always redirect it to the whole list if you choose. 2. Would you like posts to the message board to automatically be forwarded to the ILGreene-L list? There are not that many posts per week on there, and it might offer a valuable resource to the list members. Yes, please continute this practice. 3. I currently have the Digest list sent twice a day. Is that too often or would once a day be better? I believe either method works just fine. I like it as it is, but I would also be quite happy with a once-per-day mailing. Jane Kuck Jeannie Smith Co.

Question 1 - yes Question 2 - yes Question 3 - once a day to those who request the digest version __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your site http://webhosting.yahoo.com
