Hello List, As you may already know if you subscribe to other Rootsweb mailing lists, the current system that manages the lists is being replaced with a new, hopefully better system. The VAROCKIN list is scheduled to be switched over to the new system on this coming Wednesday, September 13. Most people will see no change in receiving their mail. There are a few things that might be helpful to know ahead of time though: 1) If you use filters in your email program you may need to "tweak" them a bit because after the switch over the list mail will come in from [email protected] instead of [email protected] If you have an "accept list" you may need to tweak it also. The system will, however, still accept mail sent to the list addressed to either address. 2) If you are subscribed to *both* the list and digest modes you will be added only to the list mode when the switch is made. The new system allows an email address to be subscribed to one or the other, but not both. If you would like to continue receiving both you will need to send a subscribe email to [email protected] using a different email address. NOTE: If you are subscribed to just one of the modes, you will automatically be switched to that mode - no need to do anything. 3) For digest users: The format of the digest will be changing. If you decide you prefer the old format, I should be able to change it for you if you will drop me an email and let me know. If after the switch you question whether or not you are receiving the list mail, you can check the archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/VAROCKIN. Hopefully everything will go smoothly, and you won't even know when it happens! If you do happen to have problems please email me at [email protected] Harriet Lee Welch List Administrator
