OK, in just the few minutes since I posted that notice I've already been inundated with YES emails so we'll do it. Let me get it organized, I can't tell you what day I'll get it done as my schedule this week is a bit up in the air... but lets go ahead and do this. Many people want to switch to digest instead of individual emails (with over 1000 on the list, that's a lot of emails even if only half participate, and usually nearly everyone does). So if you are on regular INDIVIDUAL emails and want to switch to digest, this is how you do it Send the word unsubscribe (no other text ) in the body of an email to SHAMROCK-L-request@rootsweb.com .. then... send subscribe (no other text) in the body of an email to SHAMROCK-D-request@rootsweb.com If you want to just unsubscribe for the week or so we do this (I'm thinking of starting this maybe this weekend and going through next weekend)... then you send unsubscribe in the body of an email (no other text) to either the following addresses depending on if you are on regular or digest form. Send it to the correct address, for example if you are on digest and want to unsubscribe, and you send it to the L address which covers regular mail, then it wont' do anything. That confuses a LOT of people For regular individual mail send unsubscribe/subscribe requests to SHAMROCK-L-request@rootsweb.com For digest mail send unsubscribe/subscribe requests to SHAMROCK-D-request@rootsweb.com Needless to say, no commands go to the posting address of SHAMROCK-L@rootsweb.com even tho people do that. I'd ask the help of listmembers here as my computer access is limited. If someone posts an unsubscribe to the list, please someone email them these directions (maybe copy and paste them?) privately... that would help out a lot right now. So .. go ahead and get your computer set up how you want... and then also get your info together, this is just for IRISH ancestors not everyone in your line. There's a format but basically its just who, where and when, and what you're looking for. Don't start yet tho.... I'll send an email about when to start sending. With members all over the world (literally) I always give at least 3 days to get everyone notified and let them switch to digest if they want.
