Sorry to bother you about the List Administration things, but you should know the status of the following for the KUNKEL Lists: 1. Reply to sender. This has always been how KUNKEL was set up and I haven't changed anything with this. PLEASE help the List along by replying to the list or by copying us on anything at all research related to KUNKEL etc names! Yes it would be easier by "reply to list" but right now we have it set up for reply to sender. When you reply to the sender, "Remember the List." [Sorta sounds like Remember the Alamo...!] 2. Closed List. I will soon make this a closed list. One list I subscribe to is an Editors List and it was spammed just awful. Especially because of #3 below, I will set it up so that the list is "closed" and only subscribers can post. If you ever post from work or another location, just let me know about it and we can set you up with more than one email address without you getting more mail than you want. 3. Archived. Yes the KUNKEL list will be archived and available on Rootsweb for folks to gawk at, and very hopefully, to USE for genealogy. Especially because of this feature, please be aware when you are sending a message or reply, to use a good Subject Heading on it, so that it may be "threaded" properly. Try not to use "Re: Digest No.9999" etc but rather, change it to the subject at hand, e.g., "Kunkels in PA 1750" or "Henry Kunkel" or something similar. Replies would then be "Re: Kunkels in PA 1750" or "Re: Henry Kunkel" etc. Thanks for being tolerant, and no, I'm sorry, the newsletter is not ready yet!! Janet >>>> <excerpt>1. Reply To List. I think it might be a good idea to set this list to "reply to list". Right now, it is set up to reply to the sender. 2. Closed List. Right now, this list is an "open" list. That is to say, anyone can post to it (like I've just done from my other email accounts, which aren't 'subscribed'). Although we haven't been 'hit' yet, it IS a possibility that we might be 'hit' by "spams". One option which I have as listowner is to make it a closed list, which means only those folks who BELONG to the subscriber list may post, or those which are designated "okay" to post can be allowed to post even though they aren't subscribed. 3. Archived Messages. I have okayed this list to be archived, which means that you will be able to retrieve old messages from the Rootsweb website. </excerpt><<<<<<<< ==== KUNKEL Mailing List ==== To send a message to everyone, send it directly to: [email protected], or reply to an individual message and note "send to all recipients" or whatever your system has for this option.
