This message is just a reminder of the commands available to you on Rootsweb. First, you send message to the listname followed by a dash and then an L so it would look something like [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected] Now, if you want to subscribe to a list on Rootsweb OR unsubscribe to a list on Rootsweb, you would then send the message to listname, followed by a dash, followed by an L, followed by a dash, and the word request. A few examples are [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] The command(s) that you must send to this address are simply subscribe or unsubscribe. You must not include anything else in the message. You may not even have a signature file or that could turn this message into an error. RootsWeb does NOT have a NOMAIL function. If you will be away, you must UNSUBSCRIBE from the list and SUBSCRIBE again when you return. If you don't, 2 things may happen: 1) You will accumulate a ton of mail and 2) your ISP may start bouncing mail. RootsWeb will automatically UNSUBSCRIBE you after 4 bounces. Archives ARE available for the time you are away. If you desire to get digests (groups of messages) instead of individual message, you must subscribe to the digest version of the list. To subscribe or unsubscribe to the digest version of any list you must send a message with the word subscribe to the listname, followed by a dash, followed by a D, followed by a dash, followed by the word request. Examples follow: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] You can be subscribed to both the digest version and the individual version of a list. I would suggest that when changing from one to the other, that you subscribe to both first. Once you are receiving the message the new way, you can then unsubscribe from the one you no longer want. Digests are available now on all of my lists. On slower lists, digest means no messages for a couple of days. Regardless of whether you are on digest or not, ALL messages are posted to [email protected] I repeat: Regardless of whether you are on digest or not, ALL messages are posted to [email protected] Rootsweb also no longer allows the individual to look at the names of people on the list. This used to be called a REVIEW on the old Maiser lists. If you need to find out if you are on a list or have problems with your subscriptions, you must write to me to investigate the problem. General Information regarding RootsWeb can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/ Please keep this email around for when you need to unsubscribe from any of these lists. The concepts work on all of the lists held here at RootsWeb. If you have any questions or problems, please direct them to me personally at one of the following addresses.
