HI Dan: >From a user perspective, perhaps take a look to the migration schedule and compare to your subscriptions. This will give you an idea of when to expect change. If you rely heavily on filters, or even have a few, you may have to adjust them. Some people filter on prepends and there should be no edits required. Some people filter on the list address and that will probably require editing. Some people filter on X-diagnostic lines within the headers and that may or may not require editing. Address books will need to be updated... although the -L in the address will still work, it is unnecessary to include it when sending mail to the list, nor is it necessary to include in in unsubscription messages for EITHER mode-- L or D. We will have to remember that although we do not have to retain the L, when subscribing to new lists, we will still need to include "request" in the address. And as Joan has said, we need to remember that mailman requires the word subscribe in the subject line. As subscribers we will also have to exhibit a bit of patience and understanding to our Admins and allow them a bit of time to get up to speed with the new procedures. They may need to go to a support list to get more information to provide an answer to some listers' questions and that could create a bit of delay beyond their usual prompt response. Their tutorial is good, but we being humans sometimes need support in finding what we are looking for. As subscribers we will have to remember to write our Admins off the list at their admin addresses (which will remain unchanged) for those items we may be experiencing difficulty with or have questions on. Some admins may invite comment on list for a bit, but many will not. It is best to check with the Admin before posting administrative items to a list unless specifically invited to. This list is here to support USER questions... don't be bashful about bringing yours here or letting others know this list exists for their support. As subscribers, we may experience a slow down in mail as people have trepidation to be the first to "test" the new system. However, once mail begins to post, the pace picks up to its usual rate. Or so we have experienced. As an Admin --- come see us on the LO list and get your Admin questions responded to. No sense in *really* confusing listers. <g> Cheers, Lauren On 8/12/06, Dan M <wb@wvi.com> wrote: > > ************************** > > This list is reserved for discussion of topics related to the update of > the mailing lists.
