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, :-) Art Jipson CONNELLS list manager Art Jipson Department of Sociology, Gerontology, and Anthropology Upham Hall Miami University Oxford, Ohio 45056 513-529-2637 [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] http://www.lib.muohio.edu/~skimmel/jipson/jipsonpage.html Ask me about the Connells mailing List
