Hi! Sorry, forgot to enclose the welcome message with my last post! Here it is! WELCOME MESSAGE Welcome to the LEHMAN mailing list! You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to LEHMAN 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 LEHMAN-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 LEHMAN-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 LEHMAN-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to LEHMAN-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 LEHMAN-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. And new LEHMAN-D subscribers recieve: Welcome to the LEHMAN mailing list!
