Hello folks,
We now have our default changed for replies. When you reply to a note
posted to the list, the default is now set to "reply to list", rather than
the individual. On small lists like ours where there is little traffic,
this is usually better as everyone gets to benefit from seeing the
responses. So, remember - if you don't want your reply to be read by the
entire list, you will need to send the reply privately to the individual
SOME ADDITIONAL REMINDERS:
NOMAIL/UNSUB:
Summer is almost upon us and many of you will be taking vacation. Please
remember: ROOTSWEB does NOT have a "NOMAIL" function. If you will be
away, you must UNSUB from the list and RESUB when you return. If you
don't, 2 things may happen: 1) You will accumulate a ton of mail and 2)
your ISP may start bouncing mail if you max out and the Rootsweb smartlist
will automatically UNSUB you after 4 bounces. Archives ARE available for
the time you are away. Email me for instructions.
DIGEST/NODIGEST
Digest is available on all the lists. On slower lists, digest means no
messages for a couple of days. Regardless of whether you are on digest or
not, ALL messages are posted to <listname>-L(a)rootsweb.com.
To set digest, send a message to <listname>-D-request(a)rootsweb.com with
NOTHING but SUBSCRIBE in the body text. After you start receiving digest,
UNSUB from regular mail by sending a message to
<listname>-L-rquest(a)rootsweb.com with UNSUBSCRIBE in the body text. If you
don't do this, you will receive double messages.
If you find you don't like digest, just reverse the process: UNSUB from
<listname>-D and RESUB to <listname>-L.
