RootsWeb is in the process of switching over to new upgraded list management software.
This list has been switched.
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 LISTNAME-L to just LISTNAME. So you may subscribe or unsub
by sending your request to: LISTNAME-request(a)rootsweb.com with one exception. If you wish
to subscribe in Digest mode you must send your subscribe request to
LISTNAME-D-request(a)rootsweb.com . You may also continue sending your requests as you
always have--either will work. The word SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE 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: LISTNAME-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 new 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 subscribe to the digests using a different
email address.
Please continue to send your queries, data, and responses to the list as usual. It is a
great time to post a new query to try to break down those brick walls.
Thanks!
