Hi everyone, Just a few changes in the welcome this and rules, but I need to pass this on to the rest of you. Please note that if you are subscribed to the digest, you will send your unsub messages or sub messages to [email protected] The messages still go to [email protected] Please read this and feel free to email me with any questions. I've also changed it back so replies to any post go back to the sender rather than the list. ============================================================================== You have added to the subscriber list of: [email protected] By default, copies of your own submissions will be returned. Welcome to the KYPOWELL mailing list! You are currently subscribed in "mail mode," which means that you will receive every posting made to KYPOWELL as it's posted. The directions on how to change to digest mode (all messages in one large message) are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to [email protected] that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. For future reference (for instance, if your subscription is canceled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] 3. How to change to mail mode (individual postings. There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to [email protected] to discontinue digest mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] to start receiving individual messages. 4. 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; 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 [email protected] 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. -- ** A FEW COMMENTS FROM THE LISTHOSTESS ** I am Jen Bawden, your listhostess. I can be reached at [email protected] I will try to keep this from being too lengthy, but there are some things you need to know. I encourage you to read ALL the instructions contained in this message to familiarize yourself with the differences. I also suggest you do two other things: 1. Print a copy of this message and keep it a folder with the WELCOME messages of the other lists you are subscribed to. 2. Create a folder or mailbox within your email program and name it "subscriptions," "list instructions," or something similar and then transfer this message and any other WELCOME messages into that folder and SAVE them. The day WILL come when you want to go on vacation and unsub from all your lists and you will need to know the proper commands as well as what lists you are subbed to. This is a discussion area for anyone who has an interest in history and genealogy related to Powell County Kentucky. Your participation is welcome and encouraged whether it is from posting queries, your specific surnames or geography related history. Please post your queries, short family group sheets, articles, census reports, Bible records, letters and any other items relating to the history or genealogy of Powell County families. Your postings will be helpful to you in your research, and will be equally helpful to those who receive them. As well as reviewing the past, feel free to post present day activities, homecomings, family reunions and other community events. NO FLAMES! NOT ONE, NEVER, EVER, EVER! I mean this, folks. If you don't like what someone else says, delete -- it don't debate it. If you feel that a post was inappropriate for this list, you may bring it to my attention by sending me a PRIVATE email. Likewise, if someone flames you privately, I want it brought to my attention immediately. I WILL NOT TOLERATE FLAMES or INSULTS OF ANY KIND. This is one rule that is firm. Flamers will be cheerfully removed from this list on the first offense. This is the only notice received. Please DO NOT send virus warnings, chain letters, political statements, etc. to the list, regardless of where you got them. If you have any questions about virus warnings and other urban myths, visit http://www.kumite.com/myths/ Please DO NOT send any kind of attachment to the list. They have a tendency to cause email problems, have been known to crash email programs, causing loss of mail and very angry list members, and mess up servers. One final rule.... There will be NO COMMERCIAL SOLICITATIONS OF ANY KIND tolerated on this list. If you have genealogical in nature for sale and would like to announce it here please send the information to me and I will pass it along to the group. I think those about covers it. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. HAVE FUN! Jen Bawden [email protected]
