For those who don't already know, RootsWeb is in the process of
switching over to new upgraded list management software. For list
subscribers, the changeover should be smooth. The changes primarily
involve the administration tools that keep the list running behind the
scenes.
The biggest change is in the list name. The list name is changing from
CALVERT-L to just CALVERT. So you may subscribe or unsub by sending your
request to: CALVERT-request(a)rootsweb.com with one exception. If you
wish to SUBSCRIBE in DIGEST mode you must send your subscribe request
to CALVERT-D-request(a)rootsweb.com . The word "SUBSCRIBE" or
"UNSUBSCRIBE"
(without the quotes) MUST be included in the subject and may also be
included in the message body.
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 at the list admin address:
Calvert-admin(a)rootsweb.com. Also, if you run into any unusual or
confusing occurrences with mail from this list that could possibly be
related to the changeover, let me know.
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 test system.
If you previously subscribed to the list in both L and D modes using the
same email address you will find that you are no longer subbed in Digest
mode. The new software doesn't permit the same address to be subbed in
both L and D modes. Therefore, if you wish to receive both modes, you
will need to resubscribe to the digests using a different email address.
Also, for those who have been requesting it, the Calvert Mailing List web
pages are undergoing their overhaul this weekend and will be returning
to the web on Monday. You can reach those pages at
http://broganfamily.org/gene/calvert Please don't hesitate to contact me
if you have any questions or problems during the list changes or if you
would like to make sure your Calvert website is linked on the Calvert
Mailing List website. You can reach me at Calvert-admin(a)rootsweb.com as
always.
Please continue to send your queries, data, and responses to the list as
usual with the exception of using calvert(a)rootsweb.com as the address to
send mail to. It is a great time to post a new query to try to break
down those walls.
Thanks!
