Dear Connells Listers,
 
This is a monthly reminder of some of the listserv commands at your disposal.
 Caps are used for emphasis -- all commands and addresses are case
insensitive. The commands/messages discussed below should all be sent to:
 
         [log in to unmask]
 
The unsubscribe command is just two words:     UNSUB CONNELLS
These two words should be in the message, not the subject line.
 
Most common mistakes:
 
1. Punctuation marks near the two words    E.g.,
     "unsub Connells"  rather than      unsub Connells
     >unsub Connells   rather than      unsub Connells
      unsub Connells.  rather than      unsub Connells
      unsub <Connells> rather than      unsub Connells
 
2. Trying to unsubscribe from an new address when your subscription
is registered under an old address.  To determine the address under
which you are subscribed, write to [log in to unmask]
 
If your efforts to unsub have been frustrated, please write to
[log in to unmask], rather than taking the problem to the list.
It is helpful to forward a copy of mail from listserv@miamiu that shows the
source of your problem.
 
             ------------ MAIL SETTINGS ------------
 
If you would like to receive the Connells list messages in a batch instead of
one-by-one, everyday, send the following command to
[log in to unmask]
     SET CONNELLS MAIL DIGEST
 
If you are going to be away and want to postpone messages again
send a message to [log in to unmask] and in the message box use
    SET CONNELLS MAIL POSTPONE
 
To unpostpone your mail or return to one-at-a-time message delivery, use
    SET CONNELLS MAIL ACK
 
All subscribers have one of three settings: ACK, DIGEST or POSTPONE
ACK is the default setting.
 
To determine which setting you have on your mail, send the command
    SET CONNELLS
 
              -------- INDEX and GET cmds ----------
 
If you want to see an index of the logs of past messages and other files
send (to [log in to unmask]) the command
     INDEX CONNELLS
 
The list of files returned from the index command are retrievable
with the get command.  If, for example, you are interested in messages
from January 94, you send a message to
[log in to unmask] and in the body of the message type
     GET  CONNELLS   JAN94
 
If you have friends who would like to subscribe, they should send mail
to [log in to unmask]  in the message proper they should write:
     SUB CONNELLS Firstname Lastname
 
Bureaucratically yours, :-)
