How do I change my preferences to reading online?
Time for some mailing etiquette and skills.
To unsubscribe from this list go to the following website:
http://lists.rootsweb.com
and find your list of interest. At the list's webpage, you will find
links to unsub from both L and D.
Otherwise you can do so yourself by sending an email and adding
request. Such as:
listname-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
listname-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
Put unsubscribe in subject and body of message
Once you find your list's website, you can also use the website to
change your subscription for L to D or from D to L
(unsubscribe from the one you no longer want to belong to and then
subscribe to the one you want instead)
....also use that website to view the list's archives which you can use
two functions....search by year, browse by month.
If you don't know whether or not you are subscribed to a mailing list,
go to Password Central:
http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/
Put your email address in the box and then check off, under Mailing
Lists: To which lists am I subscribed?
Immediately, you will receive and email from Rootsweb with a list of the
all the mailing lists which you are subbed to and it will also give you
the L or D designation.
Suppose you are not getting mail from a list and you wonder if you have
been dropped?
First, check the archives of the list, using the browse function, to see
if there has been any messages posted. If there has been, then go to
Password Central and get a list of your subscriptions.
Suppose you are trying to unsubscribe to a list but get a message that
you were not unsubbed because your email address was not listed?
Go to Password Central and get a list of your subscriptions. In most
cases, you are subbed to D and trying to unsub from L...
If you don't want to receive mail from the list but want to read what
has posted, after unsubbing from the list, use the browse function of
the archives.
If you want to contact the list admin but don't know who (s)he is or
don't know his/her email address, send an email using the list's posting
address but substitute ADMIN for L. Such as:
For Ireland-L(a)rootsweb.com, you would send -- Ireland-admin(a)rootsweb.com
When using the digest form of a list, remember when replying to a
message to change the subject line.
Finally, NEVER send unsub messages to the list. The unsubs are done
automatically by the computer and you won't be unsubbed unless the
computer sees the 'request' in the address. If you are having a problem
with your subscription or with trying to unsub, contact the admin OFF LIST.
Hope this helps. I will gladly answer any questions you have about you
subscription if you email me OFF list.
