Hi, All-
RootsWeb is in the process of switching over to new upgraded list management
software. It is my expectation that this list will be migrated over to the
new system sometime tomorrow or within the next few days. 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 CASSADY-L(a)rootsweb.com to just
CASSADY(a)rootsweb.com. So you may subscribe or unsub by sending your request to:
CASSADY-request(a)rootsweb.com with one exception. If you wish to subscribe in Digest
mode you must send your subscribe request to CASSADY-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: CASSADY-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.
AOL users (and possibly some other ISPs) may take some time to approve the
new list server and may send mail from the list to your spam folders. It is
important for AOL users to check their spam folders and if they find list mail
in the spam folder they need to click the link that says THIS IS NOT SPAM to
move the list mail to the inbox and to train the filters that the new server
is not spam.
Please continue to send your queries, data, and responses to the list as
usual.
Thanks!
