Hi, All-
RootsWeb is in the process of switching over to new upgraded list
management software. It is my expectation that this list will be
migrated over to the new system sometime tomorrow. For list subscribers,
the changeover should be smooth. The changes primarily involve the
administration tools that keep the list running behind the scenes.
The list name is changing from Cabler-L(a)rootsweb.com to just
Cabler(a)rootsweb.com (no “L” at the end). You will be automatically
subscribed to the list when the migration occurs.
An exception to that is for those currently subscribed in both List and
Digest mode. Under the new software the same email address may not be
subscribed to both List and Digest. Those currently subscribed to both
modes will be subscribed to the List mode. If you wish to continue your
subscription to the Digest mode, you will need to use a different email
adddress. The best solution for those with more than one email address
is to pick up a free email address at Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN, etc., or I
have a number of Gmail invitations I can issue. If you’d like a Gmail
invitation, just let me know privately. Contact information is below. To
subscribe to Digest mode, send your request as you always have to
Cabler-D-request(a)rootsweb.com.
Please note: When subscribing or unsubscribing the new software requires
that the word Subscribe or Unsubscribe must appear in the subject line.
You may also include it in the message body if you’d like, but it *must*
appear in the subject line.
Digest subscribers will notice some changes to the list digests. New
instructions will be added to the digests -- please read them. In
addition, the digest volume and issue number may be different (out of
sequence) from what you had been receiving. If your digests arrive in a
different format than you are used to and you would like it changed,
contact me privately. Also, if you run into any unusual or confusing
occurrences with mail from this list that could possibly be related to
the chageover, let me know. I’m on vacation until the end of this week
so am not accessing email as frequently as usual, but I will get back to
you.
If you use email headers to filter list mail to a special folder in your
email program you may need to check whether your filters will need
tweaking under the new system.
Please continue to send your queries, data, and responses to the list as
usual. If you’d like to see when other mailing lists to which you’re
subscribed are scheduled to be migrated, go to
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html.
Thanks,
