This a.m. I sent a long query to this List with lots of names and dates but it hasn't appeared and it isn't in my Outbox or Sent Box. I had clicked on the address in this e-mail Sinks-L@rootsweb.com . Could there be a problem with doing that now. This time I am sending from the Forward in the Inbox. As you can tell I am not one of the smarter e-mailers so I need help trying to decipher what I did wrong. Anyone else on this List yet? Jo Kester kester@saber.udayton.edu -----Original Message----- From: SINKS-L-request@rootsweb.com <SINKS-L-request@rootsweb.com> To: kester@saber.udayton.edu <kester@saber.udayton.edu> Date: Wednesday, December 23, 1998 11:29 PM You have added to the subscriber list of: SINKS-L@rootsweb.com the following mail address: kester@saber.udayton.edu By default, copies of your own submissions will be returned. Welcome to the SINKS mailing list! You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to SINKS 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 SINKS-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 SINKS-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 SINKS-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to SINKS-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 SINKS-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.
