I have posted much of this information in several emails but found this
version from another List worded nicely and thought I'd update it and repost
it as it might be beneficial.
RootsWeb is in the process of switching over to new upgraded list management
software. The Carmack 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 CARMACK-L to just CARMACK. So you may
subscribe or unsubscribe by sending your request to:
CARMACK-request(a)rootsweb.com with one exception. If you wish to subscribe
in Digest mode you must send your subscribe request to
CARMACK-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.
Address your posts to
CARMACK(a)rootsweb.com
(caps are not required in any of this)
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: CARMACK-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.
Hope this helps.
