I have sent this message to our Family E-Mail members with the hope of
getting this mailing list rolling. (I hope attachments work within the
list!)

#####################About Mailing Lists#####################
#############################################################
Mailing lists are remarkably simple beasties: you send a piece of e-mail to the list's
address,
and the list retransmits that message to everyone who is subscribed.
**************************************************************
*****************All Lists Have Two Addresses*****************
**************************************************************
Every mailing list really has two addresses: the list name, where posts should be sent,
and the list name followed by -request, where commands to the listserver software should
be sent.
For example, posts to CALLAHAN-L should go to CALLAHAN-L(a)rootsweb.com while
"subscribe" and
"unsubscribe" requests should go to CALLAHAN-L-request(a)rootsweb.com. (or)
CALLAHAN-D-request(a)rootsweb.com.
***************************************************************
************List Modes Affect How You Receive Posts************
***************************************************************
This list can operate in two modes:
MAIL mode, where every post is sent to subscribers as a separate piece of e-mail. MAIL
mode requires a great deal of effort by the listserving computer. This MAIL mode list
is named CALLAHAN-L.
DIGEST mode, where about twenty posts are batched together and then sent to the
subscribers. Digests produce less clutter in your mailbox, but replying to an individual
message may require a little extra effort. This DIGEST mode list is named CALLAHAN-D.
****************************************************************
****************How to Subscribe and Unsubscribe****************
****************************************************************
It's easy -- just click on the list you want. When the "mail-to" window pops
up, write just the single
word "subscribe" in the body of the message. That's all.
If you want to unsubscribe from a list, click on it and write just the single word
"unsubscribe" in the
body of the message.
