Hey folks, got approved to have a Smathers mail list.....all get a board here and lets rock and roll, Nena Smothers List Admin ps-Just for your information, incase you do not know, we also do have a Smeathers, also a Smithers mail list too, subscribe in the same manner. And dont forget the Smeathers, Smathers and Smithers forums at ancestry.com and rootsweb.com. From: listmaster@rootsweb.com To: SMATHERS-admin@lists2.rootsweb.com Subject: SMATHERS-L and SMATHERS-D mailing lists have been created Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2003 11:59:21 -0700 I. Your new RootsWeb mailing list: OK, good news: your mailing list is ready to roll. Briefly (very), people can subscribe to your list in mail mode by sending a message to SMATHERS-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains the word subscribe and nothing else. If they prefer digest mode, they should send the command instead to SMATHERS-D-request@rootsweb.com. To unsubscribe, they should send the command "unsubscribe" to SMATHERS-L-equest@rootsweb.com (if in mail mode) or SMATHERS-D-request@rootsweb.com (if in digest mode.) To switch from one mode to the other, they should unsubscribe from one and then subscribe to the other. There is no "no mail" mode -- if they want messages to stop, they should simply unsubscribe. (Suggestion: use these commands to subscribe to SMATHERS-L, as no one at all is currently subscribed, and then send a test message through. Take your list for a test drive, in other words.) To post to both SMATHERS-L and SMATHERS-D, messages should be sent to SMATHERS-L@rootsweb.com. Messages sent there will appear both places. Not everyone will be able to follow the directions for subscribing/ unsubscribing. You'll find out about them because they'll ask you for help, or because SmartList will forward their messages to you as something it couldn't understand. (It's amazing what SmartList doesn't understand,but don't get me started on that.) Anyhow, you can add/delete people from SMATHERS-L and SMATHERS-D by using the URL: _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
